Assistive listening devices can make a big difference when hearing aids alone are not enough. Even with the best hearing technology, some places are still hard. Background noise, distance, or poor room acoustics can make speech unclear. Assistive listening devices give you extra support so you can stay connected and confident in everyday life.
At Raleigh Hearing & Tinnitus Center, we take time to understand where hearing feels hardest for you. Then we recommend assistive listening devices that fit your needs, your lifestyle, and your comfort.
Assistive listening devices are tools designed to make speech clearer in specific environments. They do not replace hearing aids. Instead, they add focused support when you need it most.
For example, you may hear fairly well in quiet places but struggle:
Assistive listening devices help bring the speaker’s voice closer to you and reduce background noise. This can lower listening effort and help you feel less tired at the end of the day.
We provide several types of assistive listening devices based on your goals.
CaptionCall is a special telephone designed for individuals who have difficulty hearing on the phone. It works like a regular phone but also displays written captions of what the other person is saying on a large, easy-to-read screen.
This allows you to:
CaptionCall phones are often available at little to no cost for people with hearing loss who qualify. We can help you determine eligibility, complete paperwork, and guide you through setup.
For many patients, CaptionCall is one of the most helpful assistive listening devices for staying connected with family and friends.
Cell phones are part of everyday life. But they can be hard to hear clearly, especially in noisy places or when sound quality is poor. Cell phone accessories can improve clarity and make calls more comfortable.
These options may include:
We help you pair your phone properly, adjust settings, and understand how everything works together. This makes using assistive listening devices with your cell phone simple and stress-free.
Personal amplifiers are small, portable devices that make nearby sounds louder. These may be helpful for short-term or situational use.
However, they are not medical hearing devices and do not replace a full hearing evaluation. We help you understand when this type of support is appropriate.
TV streamers send sound directly from your television to your hearing aids or headphones. This allows you to:
Many patients say this is one of the most helpful assistive listening devices for home use.
Remote microphones are small devices worn by a speaker or placed on a table. They pick up speech and send it directly to your hearing aids.
These are helpful for:
By bringing the speaker’s voice closer to you, remote microphones reduce the impact of distance and background noise.
Assistive listening devices can help:
Hearing loss is not the same for everyone. Some people need more help with distance. Others need support with noise. We guide you toward the right assistive listening devices based on your real-life challenges.
It may be tempting to order devices online without guidance. But not all assistive listening devices work with every hearing aid. Some require proper pairing and setup.
