The law regulates an airline's aircrafts and any potion of an airport that the airline owns, leases or controls. Airlines must ensure that deaf and hard of hearing people have prompt access to the same information it provides to other people. However the airline only needs to provide accessible communication services if a traveler who is deaf or hard of hearing alerts the airline that s/he needs additional services. In the areas owned or leased by an airline, televisions and video monitors must have captioning on at all times. The law applies to some but not all of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) operations. MAC controls the MSP airport, and is affected more by accessibility rules in the Americans with Disability Act than the ACAA law. Under the ADA, MAC must ensure effective communication when it applies to information about MAC's services or is information that is communicated with equipment or in a facility owned by MAC. MNCDHH provided in-depth consultation to MAC about how to implement ACAA. MAC invested a lot of time and money into making the MSP airport accessible for travelers that are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing. For more information about accessibility at the MSP airport, visit the Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport website.

The amount of compensation a person receives is based on the seriousness of the injury. The injury is categorized as the amount of your body that has become disabled because of the injury. If a person is injured and that results in hearing loss the maximum disability of the whole body is 35 percent. For the hearing loss to be considered 35 percent body disability, the person must have lost almost all hearing ability in both ears. If a person loses partial hearing the percent of whole body disability will be between zero and 35 percent. A medical diagnosis is needed to determine the amount of permanent hearing loss that has occurred. This report should include: a complete history of occupational, military, and recreational noise exposure with information about any previous hearing loss; a complete physical examination of the ear; and an audiological evaluation including pure tone air conduction and bone conduction testing. The equipment used to measure hearing loss must meet the expected standards. The final evaluation must be at least three months after the day of the injury to ensure that the hearing loss is permanent.
