1 in 4 (25%) adults in the US live with a disability. ¹
Since 1992, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been implemented by the US government to serve and protect millions of people with disabilities.
Approximately 44 million people in the US alone who have a noticeable degree of hearing loss. ²
Providing accessibility for all customers is not only a civil right, but an inviting service that welcomes all people.
Is complying with the ADA my responsibility?
If you are an owner or manager of a public venue or workplace then, according to the ADA, you are responsible for the accessibility of all persons.
According to Title II & III of the ADA, public accommodation includes these types of places:
- Hotels, Motels, Inns, Resorts
- Hospitals, doctors' offices
- Public and private schools
- Other public venues
The following content has been created to allow you to better understand how to create an atmosphere that welcomes every person while complying with the ADA and staying out of litigation.
Still, to fully understand the ADA can be very complex. The information provided here should therefore be used as informal guidance only. If you need a deeper understanding, consider consulting an ADA expert.
Hotels, Motels, Inns, Resorts
Did you know?
More than 1 out of 10 people have a hearing problem.²
Every one of these people visit hotels, motels, inns, and resorts just like you and me. Therefore, this is an important group of guests that deserve our full attention and care.
The importance of communicating clearly and staying alert to staff entering the room are two challenging factors for people with hearing loss and deafness that are often dismissed.
It is a common misconception among many hotels that they are exempted from complying with the ADA when in fact, there are very few exceptions. The grandfather clause is thus not necessarily valid. Non-compliance with the ADA will likely result in heavy monetary penalties in the case you are sued which can be much more costly than complying. No matter if your business is sued or not, there is a serious loss of customer revenue and brand reputation.
Making sure your guests can hear when somebody is at the door and are alerted before housekeeping enters the room.
Your guests can be easily notified when someone is at the door by our Push Button Notification System. When pressing the Push Button, the Receiver inside the room will then alert the guest with flashing light and vibration at their choice.
Ensuring hearing impaired individuals have the right to clear, private conversations with hotel staff.
By offering a Maxi Pro personal amplifier, your hearing-impaired guests can not only hear the private conversation much clearer, but your staff can also lower their voice and your guests will feel much more comfortable.
Helping every guest to wake-up on time, for their important meetings or catching the flight.
Our Alarm clocks, equipped with loud sound, high intensity flashing, and/or vibration, can wake up even the heaviest of sleepers.

Hospitals, Doctors’ Offices
Did you know?
There are 44 million people living in the US with hearing loss.²
Regardless of an individual’s hearing ability, each and every one of us visit the hospital or doctor’s office when we get sick.
Medical staff must be able to have effective communication with their patients in order to best assist the needs of a particular patient.
In nearly fatal situations, communication can be a matter of life and death.
Daily communication with hearing impaired, when not using a hearing amplification device, means that you need to constantly raise your voice which becomes a privacy and environmental issue both for you and other patients.
This is an important group of patients that deserve our full attention and care.
It is the responsibility of healthcare entities to make their facilities as accessible as possible. It is a common misconception among care facilities they are exempted from complying with the ADA when in fact, there are very few exceptions.
Non-compliance with the ADA will likely result in heavy monetary penalties in the case you are sued which can be much more costly than complying. However, this is not only a monetary penalty, but a loss in your medical reputation.
Allowing patients with hearing loss to communicate clearly with medical staff during emergencies, even when they may have forgotten their hearing aids.
When an ambulance keeps a Maxi Pro on board, the risk of not being able understand a patient’s needs during emergencies is greatly diminished.
Making sure your patients, especially elderly, are clearly receiving your suggestions and medical advice to better their health.
When a doctor’s office supplies a Maxi Pro to a patient with hearing loss, they can clearly understand the doctor’s medical advice.
TV-listening can be a difficult task and often results in turning up the volume too loudly, causing a disturbance to the patients in the neighboring rooms.
By using our Maxi Pro TV listening kit, a patient can stream all the audio from the TV directly to their Maxi Pro amplifier.
