| ADA
GUIDELINES FOR HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE |
In the United States,
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on
July 26, 1990. It is summarized by: "No person shall be discriminated
against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment
of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and
accommodations of any place of public accommodation." The
ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment,
programs and services provided by state and local governments,
goods and services provided by private companies, and in commercial
facilities.
This Act includes provisions to accommodate hard of hearing people,
including incorporating Assistive Listening Systems in new building
construction, in alterations or renovations to buildings and facilities,
and when improving access to existing facilities of private companies
providing goods or services to the public. It also requires that
State and local governments provide access for the hard of hearing
in programs offered to the public.
Places of public accommodation that must comply with ADA requirements
include restaurants, hotels, theaters, convention centers, retail
stores, shopping centers, dry cleaners, laundromats, pharmacies,
doctors' offices, hospitals, museums, libraries, parks, zoos, amusement
parks, private schools, day care centers, health spas, and bowling
alleys. Commercial facilities are required to comply with ADA.
They include office buildings, factories and warehouses whose operations
affect commerce. Religious organizations (including places of worship),
residential housing, and private clubs do not need to comply. However,
many places of worship voluntarily offer assistance for hard of
hearing people.
- New construction of public facilities must have 4% of seating
or people capacity accessible to hard of hearing people
- Existing public facilities seating more than 50 people, 4%
of the seats must be accessible
- Existing public facilities seating less then 50 people, 4%
of seats but not less than two seats must be accessible to
hard of hearing people
- Existing public facilities under renovation require full
4% accessibility if the cost of making it accessible does not
exceed 20% of the renovation cost, otherwise, full accessibility
is not required
