Assistive Listening Devices
Telephone systems provide additional amplification and can make a big difference for those who have trouble hearing on the phone. These special devices for the phone come in a variety of models and colors. Telephone alerting systems indicate when the phone is ringing by flashing lights or amplified sound. Visual Smoke detectors for those who wear hearing aids and take them out at night. These devices provide very loud sound and or flashing lights. Television listening systems allow hearing impaired people to enjoy T.V. without turning up the volume to a level that might disturb others. They deliver clean, clear sound directly to the listeners ears. Wake up systems adapt alarm clocks with flashing for strobe lights, bed vibrators or a combination of these. One to one communication devices or FM systems amplify sound as well as provide a direct transmission of sound via a wireless FM transmitter. These devices are successful at improving the signal when noise and distance are an issue. Tele caption decoders allow TV viewers to see subtitles of television dialogue. TDD's allow people to communicate over the telephone by sending or receiving a visual display.

Audiometric Evaluations
The audiometric evaluation consists of testing with both speech and pure tones. Testing with pure tones is done to determine the amount of hearing loss for volume. Speech discrimination scores are obtained to estimate the loss of hearing pertaining to the fine-tunig ability of the ear.
