I�m Margaret Hutchison. One type of assistive system that people can have in their home
is something like this Sennheiser unit. The Sennheiser unit is a loop system and it�s
a personal loop system. This means that if you wear a hearing aid that has a telecoil
on it, you can plug this in to your TV or your cable box and use this loop system around
your neck with your hearing aids set to T-coil to be able to listen to television better.
Why is this important? Because a lot of people have trouble with background noise and with
bad acoustic environments. Bad acoustic environments sound kind of like what is that? A bad acoustic
environment is about an environment that is kind of bouncy and creates a lot of echo so
that it makes it hard to hear because you not only hear the thing you want to hear;
you hear a bunch of copies of it. It kind of makes everything a mis-mesh. So, you may
want to look into this if you�re still having trouble understanding TV even with your hearing
aids. This can be important. This is a good example of it. There are other examples as
well.
