Who uses an assistive listening device?
Assistive listening device are typically used by people who have some residual hearing or who are hard of hearing. People who have difficulty hearing speech or who need to hear certain sound information in noisy situations may benefit from using an ALD. Additionally, people who need to hear sound at a louder level than other people in the same area may use ALDs. These devices are essentially used for minimizing background noise, reducing the effect of distance between the sound source and person with hearing loss, and overriding poor acoustics such as echo.
