Hotels must provide auxiliary aids and services to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, when necessary to ensure effective communication, unless this would result in an undue burden or fundamental alteration. 42 U.S.C. § 12182; 28 C.F.R. § 36.303(c). Auxiliary aids and services include, but are not limited to, “[q]ualified interpreters, notetakers, computer-aided transcription services, written materials, telephone handset amplifiers, assistive listening devices, assistive listening systems, telephones compatible with hearing aids, closed caption decoders, open and closed captioning, telecommunications devices for deaf persons, videotext displays, or other effective methods of making aurally delivered materials available to individuals with hearing impairments.” 28 C.F.R. § 36.303(b)(1). The rule prohibits the assessment of a charge or "surcharge" for compliance with this section. 28 C.F.R. § 36.301(c).
