[Athen] Assistive Hearing Systems in Classrooms

[foreigntype at gmail.com]

There are five basic types of assistive listening devices. Some are
personal/one-on-one type devices between the instructor and a specific
student or students, and there are induction loop types that are used for
whole classrooms.

Here is a link for the types of assistive, listening devices that are
common:

You also might want to check with the National Deaf Center for more
information about assistive listening devices in classrooms. They are a
great resource! Here’s a link:
