Who We Are
Warren Brown
brown@brownaudioservice.com
A member of Equal Access and the Hearing Loss Association of America, Warren Brown is a hearing loop advocate and loop installer. Having worked in the audio visual field for more than 30 years, he became aware of the difficulties people with hearing loss often experience being able to participate in public events. He found that loops can reengage people in many places that challenged their full participation. He started Brown Audio Service to promote and install loops, and has presented the "get in the loop" message to hearing loss groups statewide. His efforts have brought loops to over 50 venues throughout Ohio and the surrounding regions. http://www.brownaudioservice.com/ |
