A hearing aid / assistive listening tool that includes a comprehensive map-based directory of all U.S. venues (i.e. Places of Worship, Performing Arts Theaters, Movie Theaters, Public Meeting Rooms, Municipal Facilities, etc.) that are hearing loop enabled to assist people with hearing loss. LoopFinder is location-aware which allows suggestions of nearby venues with hearing loops. LoopFinder allows users to suggest other non-looped venues to consider a hearing loop installation. LoopFinder also helps users find nearby hearing professionals that can activate their hearing aid telecoils to take advantage of a venue’s hearing loop.
