To help you hear the TV, radio or conversation

Printacall has a range of personal equipment that will assist a person with a hearing impairment, with or without a hearing aid, depending on the degree of hearing loss, to hear sound with greater clarity.

Personal equipment (small in physical size and usually carried on the belt or in a coat pocket) is used to pick up sound through a small microphone attached to the equipment, sending sound to the ear via the hearing aid T switch

See: Oticon Amigo Amplified Sound System for TV, radio, conversations and meetings
Also see: Sennheiser infra-red listening devices for TV & radio

The same personal equipment may be used without a hearing aid to bring sound to the ear via a stethoscope or Walkman style earphone.
