We are thrilled to announce the unveiling of our new hearing loop system, marking a major step toward inclusive and accessible recreation for individuals with hearing loss. Join us as we learn about this powerful tool, made possible through the generosity of Spencer Audiology’s owner, Pam Spencer, and dedicated community members Lou Touchette and Emily Hammond.

Hearing loops provide direct transmission of an instructor’s voice to a participant’s hearing aid or cochlear implant through the telecoil program, ensuring clear communication during classroom instruction. For those without telecoil-equipped devices, CBC will also provide captions during classroom lectures, as well as solutions to help participants hear out on the water.

Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the new hearing loop technology firsthand, learn about CBC’s expanded accessibility features, and enjoy light refreshments as we commemorate this exciting milestone.

The event is free and open to the public. Community members, boating enthusiasts, and advocates for accessibility are encouraged to attend and learn with us.
