My Assistive Listening Story 

I first experienced assistive listening technologies at a convention held in a huge open-air sports stadium. At the beginning of the program, the chairman announced that the audio was being broadcast on a short range FM transmitter, and he gave the frequency.

I thought to myself “Why? The speaker system in the auditorium seemed to be doing just fine.

As the day progressed, I saw the benefit of providing this service. I asked a man sitting near me why he kept earphones on during the session. He said he had tuned in on his mobile phone and could concentrate better because of less distraction and found that the sound was clearer and less ‘echo-y’ than the stadium PA.

I later found out that the first aid area also had a receiver where the program was broadcast. There was a delegate who had the flu and did not want to pass it on to others and stayed in the car – but was able to listen to the program through the assistive listening devices.

By the end of the day I thought WOW. Although I did not make use of the service, I saw the benefits. All the delegates could get the maximum benefit from the program. Unexpected events that may have stopped them from sitting in the stadium did not prevent them from being part of the convention.

In my opinion the brand of the convention organizer was enhanced immeasurably.
