A telecommunications aid bill was signed into law. What does this mean for Delaware?

A bill intent on delivering telecommunications aid to Delawareans is now officially state law.

The bill, which requires the Delaware Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to provide equipment and additional telecommunications assistance to individuals “who have deafness, hearing loss or speech disabilities related to deafness or hearing loss,” received Meyer’s signature on July 21.

The Hearing Loss Association of Delaware said roughly 120,000 people in the state have hearing loss.

While many agree this is a crucial step forward, they also point out that more needs to be done to ensure Delawareans who are deaf or hard of hearing are seen and supported.
