Assistive Listening Devices

چکیده
ALDs are used both with and without hearing aids and are most effective when the individual has developed speechreading, listening, and other techniques that help supplement verbal learning. Also, their effectiveness is greatly enhanced when persons with whom they are communicating understand how to communicate effectively with a person with a hearing loss. One such classroom example is for the instructor and peers not to speak with their backs to the hard of hearing listener. Another is for only one person to speak at a time. These and other strategies often improve communication for everyone in the classroom (See Appendix “Communication tips for instructors”).
