Assitive Listening DevicesWhat are Assistive Listening Devices?
Assistive Listening Devices are tools that help individuals who have a hearing loss maintain their communication independence. Typically, a hearing aid makes all sounds louder, whereas an Assistive Listening Device can increase the loudness of a desired sound. For example, these devices can work together with hearing instruments to amplify a radio, television set or alarm system; or they can turn an auditory alarm (such as a smoke signal) into a visual alarm (such as a strobe light).
