Assistive Listening Devices and Systems
Denton Hearing Health Care understands that some of our patients need something to enhance what their hearing aids do in order for them to enjoy a better hearing experience and a richer quality of life. We also understand that some individuals aren’t quite ready for hearing aids.
Along with fitting our patients with hearing aids and providing ongoing support, we provide assistive hearing technology to boost their ability to communicate in public and private settings by filling in the gaps.
Assistive hearing technology includes two different types of devices: assistive listening devices (ALD) and assistive listening systems (ALS).
ALD Hearing Devices
In general, ALD enhances personal connections to audio sources for telephones, music, and TV as well as visual, tactile alerting, or alarms.

Assistive Listening Systems for Public Settings
Assistive listening systems (ALSs) are used in public settings, such as a theater, airport, church, or lecture hall. They are mandated and regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and public facilities must post notification of the system at entrances to buildings with ALS.
There are three approved types of assistive listening systems:
HEARING LOOPS
Hearing Loops (aka induction loops or audio frequency induction loop systems). They include a system of copper wire placed within a room, theater, or counter connected via a special loop “driver” to a public address or sound system. Sound is wirelessly transmitted via small changes in the magnetic field and is directed into the telecoil of hearing aids, cochlear implants, or telecoil receivers worn on the body.
RADIO FREQUENCY
FM or DM Systems (radio frequency assistive listening systems). This type of ALS transmits wireless, low-power FM frequency radio transmission from a sound system to FM receivers. Using the system requires a receiver and either headphones or a neckloop, but those with telecoil-equipped hearing aids or neckloops do not need headphones.
INFRARED SYSTEM
Infrared Systems (IR). Speech or sound transmission from a public address system uses invisible infrared light waves which are transmitted to an IR receiver. This technology requires line-of-sight and is interrupted in direct sunlight.

Assistive Listening Technology Available from Denton Hearing Health Care
CapTel
This is the ideal solution for people with some degree of hearing loss. It works like any other telephone but displays a text version of every word the caller says throughout the conversation, allowing the user to both listen to the caller and read the written captions in the display window.
Set up involves connecting a phone line to your device and plugging it in, or you can use it along with your high-speed internet service.
LACE (Listening and Communication Enhancement)
Designed by leading audiologists at the University of California, San Francisco and developed by Silicon Valley software veterans, LACE auditory training programs retrain the brain to comprehend speech up to 40% better in difficult listening situations, such as:
Noisy restaurants
Rapid speakers
Competing speakers
LACE can help you develop skills and learn strategies for dealing with situations when hearing is inadequate in the same way physical therapy helps you rebuild muscles and adjust movements to compensate for physical weakness or an injury.
LACE training is accessible from any modern web browser with an internet connection on Apple and Windows computers as well as iOS and Android devices.

Great people, easy to work with and easily available. I’m glad I got my hearing aids and that I was patient enough to get accustomed to them. I very seldom have to ask people, especially my grands, to repeat themselves anymore.
