How Do Assistive Listening Devices Help?
Posted on by Willamette ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery
Hearing aids are an extremely popular and effective treatment option for hearing loss. But for those whose hearing aids aren’t enough in every listening situation or those who do not have a pair of hearing aids, assistive listening devices (ALDs) can be incredibly beneficial. Below is an overview of popular types of ALDs and their benefits.
Amplified phones allow users to turn up the volume as loud as necessary without sacrificing sound quality. They make it easier to hear high-pitch sounds, which are typically what people with hearing loss struggle with most. They also feature amplified ringtones so you never miss a call, and many offer live closed captions of what your conversation partner is saying. Amplified phones can be used with hearing aids or without.
