Most people are aware that hearing aids help with hearing loss, however there are other options that can be used in place of, or in conjunction with hearing aids to help you hear specific hearing environments. These are known as Assistive Listening devices. Some examples of Assistive Listening Devices are:

Personal Amplifiers
These devices can be handheld, worn around the neck or clipped on to your shirt/belt. The device works as a speech amplifier to help clarify speech in tricky listening situations. These are great for everyday situations like watching around the breakfast table or family dinner as well as one on one conversations.

TV Solutions
Turning your TV volume up to uncomfortable level for those around you? There are specific TV solutions that can help! Some of these can be worn around the neck and work with your hearing aids to stream the TV signal directly to your hearing aids. Others can be worn as headphones which amplify the television without the need for hearing aids.

Phones
These are specific telephones that amplify the ringing tone of the phone. What’s more, you can hear your callers voice to help you hear better when using the phone, with or without hearing aids.

Alerting & Safety Devices
Stay safe and be aware of the sounding of alarms or alerts around your home. This can be difficult with hearing loss. There are many assistive listening devices that can help with everyday alert signals such as an alarm to wake up or the front doorbell. Bed shakers, flashing lights, and pagers are also available and as well as smoke detectors and baby monitors when relying on sound alone is not the best option.
