Regardless of how exciting, informative or inspiring your production may be, it might have very little impact on those who are hard of hearing. It is for this reason that assistive listening devices can be a worthwhile investment for a wide range of settings. It is important to make sure the device you choose is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Assistive Listening Devices
These listening devices can come in handy in auditoriums and churches where some audience members may be hard of hearing. Other venues that may benefit from this type of equipment include classrooms, auditoriums and even boardrooms. These multipurpose systems can help people to understand better speeches and music as well as other sounds during worship services, meetings, lectures, etc.
Qualities
Leading assistive listening device packages have unparalleled sound quality. Look for a system that also has a user-friendly interface so that you can easily and conveniently master the device, from setup to operation. A top-quality system will even allow you to add a wireless transmitter/receiver for an entirely wireless solution, with transmitters coming with a rack mount kit that includes a base station.
Tour Guides
If you are a teacher, interpreter or tour guide, assistive listening devices can be especially helpful. You can use these devices to make sure everyone is included when you’re leading groups either outdoors or indoors. The system works by providing one-way communication designed to help to cut through background noise. These types of systems come with convenient-to-use belt packs that come with transmitters along with headband microphones. Your listeners can also use belt pack receivers that are portable, as well as lightweight headphones, so they can understand every word easily and clearly.
Features
Choose an assistive listening device that is expandable for an unlimited number of users. The device should come with in-ear headphones that are lightweight. In addition, look for a system that has 16 user-selectable ultra-high frequency, or UHF, channels. Experts at a reputable company in the industry can show you exactly how one of these devices can add an enhanced quality of life to those who use them.
