Benefits of assistive listening devices

Assistive listening devices provide practical, targeted support for hearing in everyday situations.

  • Simple and easy to use
  • Designed to support specific listening environments
  • Can be used on their own for mild hearing loss or when hearing aids cannot be worn
  • Can enhance the benefit of hearing aids when used together

When assistive listening devices can help

Assistive listening devices are particularly useful in situations where hearing can be more challenging.

Talking on the telephone

Understanding conversations on the phone can be difficult without visual cues. Phones designed for people with hearing loss, or technology that allows calls to stream directly to hearing aids, can make conversations clearer and easier to follow.

Watching television

If you find yourself turning up the TV volume, assistive devices can help. Sound can be streamed directly to headphones or hearing aids using Bluetooth, delivering a clear signal without increasing volume for others.

Listening in background noise

Devices such as remote microphones (including Roger technology) help improve speech clarity in noisy environments. They work by reducing background noise and delivering the speaker’s voice directly to your hearing device.

Hearing sounds in the home

Alerting systems can make important everyday sounds more noticeable, such as doorbells, alarm clocks and phone calls, improving safety and awareness at home.

One-on-one conversations

Personal amplifiers are simple, portable devices that help amplify speech in close conversations. They can be particularly useful for people who have difficulty managing or wearing hearing aids.
