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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#003082'>Linda Lybecker<b> </b><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#003082'>City of Hillsboro, Oregon | Hillsboro Public Library<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#003082'> </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#003082'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Yokoyama, Alicia<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, August 16, 2014 11:23 AM<br><b>To:</b> libs-or@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br><b>Subject:</b> [Libs-Or] Assisted Listening Devices<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>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.
