Thank you for your feedback. The amount of confusion/lack of awareness is, unfortunately, fairly common but there are many people at HLAA working to change this, nationally and locally.
This past June, the "Get in the Hearing Loop" campaign committee of HLAA introduced a tool kit for all advocates and users of hearing loops. Three popular postcards can be reprinted for anyone's use. They cover
-- how to access an installed hearing loop with your hearing aid;
-- what to ask your audiologist about telecoil activation and
-- what to say to the owner/manager of a public space that is not yet looped.
The full kit with PDFs for downloads is here: https://www.hearingloss.org/programs-events/get-hearing-loop/hearing-loop-toolkit/
