Communication Systems: An alternative way of providing practical and efficient communication   
solutions for protection from loud sounds and noisy environments.

• FM System – Is most useful in places where it is hard to face the person who is speaking. The speaker clips a small amplifier to a belt and talks into a small microphone and the listener wears earphones or headphones that amplify the speaker’s voice.
• Induction Loop – Is useful in a variety of settings. The loop is a wire that surrounds a designated area. A microphone near the speaker sends a signal via the wire to your hearing aid equipped with a telecoil.
• Infrared System – Is most useful indoors. This system uses an invisible light beam to transmit sound from the speaker to the lightweight earphones or a neck loop. It can also be used to amplify television programs without disturbing others in the room. This system is similar to an FM system, but transmits using radio waves.

• AmplifiedPhones: A specialized telephone that enables a person with moderate to severe hearing loss to make sounds not only louder but also clearer and easier to understand.
