Assistive listening devices by Discount Audio: Working a bridge to sound signal and listener


People show varying degrees of hearing at varying frequencies in both ears. Assistive Listening Systems also known as assistive listening devices are amplifiers that bring sound directly into the ear.  They separate the sounds, particularly speech, that a person wants to hear from background noise.  Assistive listening devices improve “speech to noise ratio”.

Past research has proved that people who are hard of hearing, requires a volume (signal to noise ratio) increase of about 15 to 25 dB in order to achieve the same level of understanding as people with normal hearing.  Assistive listening devices allow them to achieve this gain for themselves without making it too loud for everyone else. Assistive listening devices can bridge the gap between a sound signal and a listener’s ears, delivering the sounds they want to hear unaffected by room acoustics. During public address announcements in places like transit stations, airports, and other arenas these assistivelistening devices serves as a boon to listeners as there is lot of background noise which makes it really difficult to listen. 
Assistive listening devices comes with 16 user selectable UHF channels, expandable for unlimited number of users, ADA compliant range up to 300' line of sight, rack mount kit with base station, one-way communication, easy to set-up and operate, lightweight in-ear headphones and available storage case.
