Hearing Aid Accessories

It’s important to understand that hearing aids work best when the speaker is within 1.5 meters (or 5 feet) of the listener. This is referred to as the "near field" range. In noisy environments, such as busy coffee shops, hearing aids utilize directional microphone technology to enhance speech clarity and improve comfort for the listener.

In situations where the speaker is farther away—like in an office, crowded restaurant, place of worship, or classroom—assistive listening devices, such as Roger Microphones, are necessary to ensure clear and understandable communication.

If you experience difficulties in large gatherings, presentations, multimedia usage, or phone calls, Deaf & Hear Alberta is available to help you find the best communication support.
