The person who is listening may use a wireless Receiver to tune into the signal and listen at their preferred volume. The assistive listening device usually uses a microphone to capture an audio source near its origin and broadcast it wirelessly through means of frequency modulation (FM), infrared (IR), an audio induction loop, or another method. The ALD may be used to help HOH people hear televisions and other audio devices, or to help people hear speech through public address or sound reinforcement systems, such as in places of worship or lectures. Assistive listening devices offer a more adaptive alternative to hearing aids, but can be more complex and cumbersome.Ī common usage is to aid people who are hard of hearing (HOH) by amplification and providing a better signal to noise ratio (SNR). However, if the sound is too distorted by the time it reaches the listener, even the best hearing aids will struggle to unscramble the signal. Hearing aids are able to amplify and process these sounds, and improve the speech to noise ratio. This is often exacerbated by the effect of room acoustics on the quality of perceived speech. Often, in a noisy or crowded room it is almost impossible for an individual who is hard of hearing to distinguish one voice among many. An FM assistive listening device receiver Using an assistive listening device to hear better in noisy environmentsĪn assistive listening device (ALD) is part of a system used to improve hearing ability for people in a variety of situations where they are unable to distinguish speech in noisy environments.
