Washington State has become the 22nd state in the nation to pass the Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act.

The Seattle Repertory Theatre is proud to announce an innovative new assistive listening system for patrons with hearing loss. The hearing loop system uses wireless technology to transmit the speech or music on stage directly to theatergoers’ cochlear implants and hearing aids with T-coils. Patrons will hear sound picked up by the theatre’s PA system rather than from the microphone in an implant or hearing aid, resulting in a clearer sound with less background noise.
