#1063 Hear Better: With Hearing Loops, FM Systems, and Infrared Systems

Presenter: Wynne Whyman

What can you do when you just can't hear or understand everything at performing arts centers, movies, libraries, government meetings, or at your place of worship?  Learn how you can connect your hearing aids, cochlear implants, or headphones directly to the venue’s PA system via a hearing loop for clear speech everywhere!  Try out the library’s hearing loop, and learn about other systems in the Colorado Springs area (FM and infrared).  Come and learn about assistive listening systems, to include: FM, infrared, hearing loops.  

Location:  East Library, 5550 N. Union Blvd. Colorado Springs, CO 80918
