Assistive Listening Devices
Assistive listening devices (ALDs) can open up a world of hearing and communications that those who are hard of hearing often miss. Even if you wear a hearing aid, ALDs can help further improve ease of hearing (reducing stress and fatigue) in many day-to-day communication situations. Together, hearing aids and ALDs can truly improve not only your listening ability, but also your ability to communicate with others.
