In this episode…The world can be difficult to navigate for those with hearing loss. Even small impairments can be enough to change the way people go through their days, often adding difficulty to everyday situations. In social situations, they deserve the same level of comfort as everyone else. This is where assistive listening devices come into play. They allow for additional hearing assistance, often in combination with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Many are unaware of how they work and where they can be accessed, so education on the subject is still crucial. In this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast, Dr. Mark Syms invites Cheryl Nolte back on the show to discuss ALDs. They break down the social situations and locations where these devices can be found. They also talk about how they can be utilized properly, how they work with different levels of hearing loss, and some of the limitations of these resources.
