For those who are hard-of-hearing, sometimes a little extra helps (besides hearing aids) can go a long way. Assistive listening devices, referred to as ALDs, are devices that amplify surrounding sounds, often directly into ear buds, head phones, or a personal loop that works with the hearing aids.
ALDs can come as small dedicated devices or can be purchased as inexpensive apps for a smartphone. If you’d like to learn more about the ALDs that we have in the AT Library, visit us online.
