All personal radio systems from Tourguide-SYSTEMS are designed for those who find it difficult listening from a distance and are specifically designed to help in \u2018noisy\u2019 environments, where background noise can make listening difficult due to poor inteligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n

A personal assistive listening device is made up of a radio microphone, to place next to the source or talker(s), that provides you [the listener] with the sound quality experienced at close proximity but at much greater distances. Our receivers can be easily set up and adjusted by the user for comfortable volume; they are battery powered, lightweight and very compact, for inside or outside use; listen via earphones or by using a personal neck-loop, linked to your own hearing aid(s) using the Telecoil (“T-position”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is a personal FM system used as an assistive listening device?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With an assistive listening device from Tourguide-SYSTEMS, the transmitter is worn or held by the person talking (or connected into the television \/ audio source).<\/p>\n\n\n

The receiver and neck loop is worn by the assistive listening device user, with their hearing aid switched to the ‘T ‘ pickup. Consistent sound will then be heard whatever direction the talker faces and even at a reasonable distance from the person speaking. The system may also be used for listening to the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n

Assistive listening devices, in the form of radio aids, have been used by hearing aid wearers with significant benefit in education and business for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For hearing aid users, the personal radio systems are used either with a neck loop or direct input connection as suitable. For non hearing help users, earphones can be used – please take note that whilst earphones may lift the volume for listeners with a mild hearing loss, they are not a substitute for a hearing aid dispensed by an audiologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
