Improving Upon Hearing Loss with an Assistive Device

Loop Systems and T-Coils

                        The vast majority of people suffering with
                        a hearing loss will use some form of an
                        assistive device to help them to maintain
                        a degree of independence. It could be
                        anything from an infrared television
                        headset to amplified telephones, but in
                        the end they all use something that
                        works the best for them and their specific
needs. They want to remain connected to the world around them
and that is where the devices come into play.

Loop systems work by transmitting electromagnetic signals into
an area that allows the individual wearing the hearing aid to be
able to interpret the signal through a t-coil switch that is supplied
through their hearing instrument.

Alerting Devices

Beyond the common listening devices, there are numerous visual
based alert systems that are designed to help alert those with a
hearing issue to any special situations or circumstances that need
to be addressed. Think about it this way, if you have an alarm
clock with the standard buzzer or bell, what is that going to do for
someone who has a hearing impairment? Someone who has
profound degrees of hearing loss will need something much more
than that, which is why specialized units were developed for
those individuals.

Some of the alarm clocks come with a special device built into
them that sends off strobe lights, and then there is also the insert
for your pillow that will vibrate when it is time to wake up. Those
who are unable to hear the standard alarm clock will now have
options available to help alert them to anything that they need to
be aware of. Smoke and fire alarms also come equipped with a
visual alert to make sure that they are protected in the event of a
fire.

Bluetooth devices are now available for hearing instruments. Ask
your hearing aid specialist about the options available to you.
Many of the choices on the market are able to be integrated into
some styles of hearing aid systems already in place. Call your
hearing aid office today!
