Hearing Aid Boost At Grand Rapids Gerald Ford Airport

How odd that on this day there'd be a story about "loop" technology being adopted at Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International, unless it had been out there for awhile and the death of the former president nudged somebody into writing about it. From AP via MSNBC:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Air travelers who use hearing aids will find it easier to learn what's going on at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, beginning next year.

Improvements to the public address system will add technology that lets flight announcements be transmitted directly into hearing aids with a special receiver....

Common in British airports, apparently. No info that I can find at the airport's website, but they do have a special intro homepage set up to mark Ford's passing (image). Rest in peace.
