[Libs-Or] Assisted Listening Devices

[Linda Lybecker]

Hillsboro uses a portable system by Listen Technologies. The receiver will amplify sound from either a microphone or via a sound system. The person can use their own hearing device, or use one of our headsets or earpieces.  We keep the equipment on a cart, charging in a storage room, until it is needed. Then we simply roll it to whichever room needs the assistive listening support. We also have a room microphone  to pick up all voices in a small area, which is good for listening to panels and group discussions.

The acoustics in our program space are problematic (sound travels up through an atrium rather than out over our audiences and there's usually a lot of background noise), thus we would like to offer extra aid to our patrons who are having difficulty hearing presenters when attending our programs. We'd love to hear what products are being used in Oregon libraries and/or any advice you might offer us.



Thank you in advance,

Alicia Yokoyama
