Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are specialized tools designed to improve hearing in situations where hearing aids alone may not be enough. They enhance sound clarity by reducing background noise and bringing the speaker’s voice closer to the listener.

ALDs can be used with or without hearing aids, depending on individual needs.

Beyond Hearing Aids

While hearing aids work well in most everyday situations, certain environments—such as noisy rooms, large gatherings, or distant conversations—can still be challenging. ALDs provide additional support by focusing on the sound you want to hear.

When Can an ALD Help You?

An Assistive Listening Device may be recommended if you:

  • Struggle to hear speech in noisy environments
  • Have difficulty hearing speakers at a distance
  • Experience challenges during phone or video calls
  • Watch TV at higher volumes than others
  • Want extra clarity along with your hearing aids
