Hearing Devices
Today, hearing devices are smaller, more comfortable, and most importantly - more effective - than ever before, which explains why satisfaction with new hearing devices is at an all-time high of 90% (Kochkin, 2005). Hearing devices today are digital microcomputers that can automatically adjust to ensure sounds are audible and comfortable. And with a whole host of twenty-first century features, they’re easy – and even fun – to use. Even basic models today are light years ahead of the most advanced models of just a few years ago. That’s great news, because in over 90% of cases of hearing loss, hearing devices are recommended. And research has proven that hearing devices not only help you hear better but can actually improve the quality of your life (National Council on Aging, 1999)
LACE
Just as physical therapy can help rebuild muscles and adjust movements to compensate for physical weakness or injury, LACE will help you develop skills and strategies to deal with situations when hearing is inadequate.
Whether you wear hearing aids, are just acquiring aids, or simply wish to improve your listening skills, LACE training will help you get the most out of the sounds of life. Even people with normal hearing can be poor listeners. Good listening skills is one of the essential components in effective communication.
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)
Many ALDs are available to help people with all degrees of hearing loss. These devices facilitate improved face-to-face communication, reception of electronic media, telephone reception, and reception of important warning sounds and situations.
TV and Your Hearing Devices
1. TV Ears or something similar is great for anyone wanting to hear TV better. However, they can't be worn with hearing aids so you may still have trouble hearing people in the room.
2. The new TV Ears/Neckloop system is GREAT for hearing aid wearers who have a Tcoil equipped hearing aid. Simply wear the loop like a necklace and the sound transmits directly into your hearing aids! And the best part is that your hearing aids are still helping you hear the person in the room.
3. We also have a Room Loop System to wire your entire TV room. This works with TCoil equipped hearing aids like the TVEARs Neckloop but the room is looped instead of wearing the necklace. Again, this still allows you to talk with others in the room allowing them to set the volume of the TV at their own level. We have an installer we can refer you to.
4. Bluetooth TV connectivity is available with some of the new hearing instruments.
