On Friday, Let’s Loop Swindon presented Justin Tomlinson MP with a ‘Champion for Hearing Loops’ award at an event in the Swindon Borough Council offices.
‘Let’s Loop Swindon’ was formed in the summer of 2014 to improve both awareness and the provision of hearing loops in the town. A hearing loop is a type of sound system for use by people with hearing aids.
During his time as Minister for Disabled People, Justin Tomlinson MP wrote to several national businesses to encourage them to listen to the concerns of groups like Let’s Loop Swindon and address issues such as badly-placed, insufficient signage, and poor maintenance of hearing loop systems.
Justin Tomlinson MP said: “I am extremely honoured and humbled to have been presented with this award. Businesses in Swindon are leading the way and we should all be very proud that our town is a national trailblazer in this area. Let’s Loop Swindon are doing a fantastic job at helping hearing aid users and I look forward to continuing to support their fantastic endeavour.”
