[Electronics-talk] Transcription software and audio devices for thehearing impaired

[Sandy]

Philip,

I wear two hearing aides.  Some of those devices that may be used to amplify 
sound are receivers wirelessly connected to a transmiter. This is like what 
one uses to get audio description of described plays, etc.  The little 
receivers have an on/off knob, as well as a knob for volume.  I have my own 
receiver that also can be set to more than one frequency, which I used 
during general sessions last summer at National Convention.  I only wish 
that system was used at the mock trial and the play I attended since I 
couldn't understand either of them.  Anyway, some places have a loop system 
wherein a whole auditorium, for example, is equiped and the hearing aid user 
puts the hearing aids on telecoil to hear the sound.  This works for those 
of us who have the telecoil feature.  Hope this makes a bit of sense.


Sandy
