HLAA, the U.S. leader in advocacy for people with hearing loss, calls for all online video call and conferencing platforms to offer free (no-cost) access to automatic captioning technology to people with hearing loss at the same level that platforms offer to their premium customers, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Petition
HLAA is also supporting an online petition on Change.org that asks on line platforms like Zoom and GoToMeeting to provide free captioning for people with hearing loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. We encourage you to sign this petition.
