Even though you have the best hearing instruments available they won’t necessarily solve all of your listening problems. Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are available to augment the performance of your hearing aids.
These devices generally fall into the following categories:
| 1. | Personal face-to-face communication |
| 2. | Telephone communication |
| 3. | Listening and signaling devices for the home environment |
ALDs help reduce the limits that distance, background noise, reverberation and distortion can cause by bringing sound directly from its source into your hearing aids or ears. This is done by connecting your hearing aids to the sound source using an FM or infrared device.
Better telephone communication can be achieved by using amplified telephones or FM systems. Multitone ringers, flashing lights and vibrating devices can assist in alerting you to incoming phone calls, doorbells, fire alarms, a crying baby or the speech of somebody in an adjacent room. These same devices can be coupled to a special clock for wake up alarms or time reminders.
Many ALDs are offered through our office and some can be obtained for no charge through government agencies. Ask Jeff for details.
