Assistive Listening Devices

We take the time to identify and understand your specific hearing needs. This involves comprehensive evaluations that assess your hearing health. We use the latest hearing technologies and best practices to evaluate your hearing capacities and establish your hearing needs.

Amplified phones support having conversations over the phone. They are equipped with easily adjustable volume settings that prevent distortion when volume is increased as well as amplified ringtones. An additional feature that amplified phones provide is captioned services which transcribe audio into text in real time, allowing people to easily follow conversations.

Watching TV with hearing loss, especially with others, can be challenging because you have different hearing needs. Fortunately, there are a few types of ALDs that are specifically designed to enhance the TV watching experience. This includes neckloops which directly connect to audio from your TV.

There are also ALDs that provide an alternatives to traditional alerting devices (smoke detectors, home security systems etc.) Rather than relying on amplifying high pitched sounds, alternate types of altering devices use vibrations, smoke detectors that use flashing lights, doorbells that also use lights etc. These types of ALDs other cues people with hearing loss are better able to pick up on to increase spatial awareness.

This type of ALD works by transmitting sound from an audio source (microphone, speaker) directly to a receiver that is embedded in a hearing aid. This allows the hearing aid to directly receive the sound signals and adjust them in ways that meet the wearer's needs. FM systems are also compatible with neckloops, headphones, and cochlear implants.
