Hearing Clearly
73 Million People with Hearing Loss in USA (1 in 5)
Longing to hear well in more places, they may not be aware of the variety of technologies available to help them hear better in public places. There are two types of technologies:
Assistive listening systems (groups) bring audio clarity by minimizing the negative effects of distance, noise, and reverberation in meetings, events, and services.
Personal, one-on-one communication (individual) to enhance comprehension and participation in public places, such as healthcare and parent-teacher conferences.
