Understanding Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are essential tools designed to help individuals with hearing impairments overcome communication barriers. These devices work in tandem with or independently of hearing aids to enhance sound clarity and accessibility in various environments. Here at Koru Hearing, we offer a wide range of ALDs to meet your unique needs.

Types of Assistive Listening Devices

Image

1. Personal Sound Amplifiers

Personal sound amplifiers are lightweight, portable devices that amplify sounds in your immediate vicinity. They are ideal for situations where you need a little extra help, such as during one-on-one conversations or while watching TV.

2. FM Systems

FM systems are perfect for classrooms, conferences, and group settings. They consist of a transmitter and a receiver and work by broadcasting the speaker's voice directly to your receiver. This ensures clear and direct communication, even in noisy environments.

3. Loop Systems

Loop systems utilize electromagnetic fields to transmit sound directly to your hearing aid's T-coil or telecoil. This technology is commonly found in theaters, churches, and public venues equipped with hearing loops, making it easier for you to hear clearly without background noise.

Leslie spent the last 5 months fighting my insurance for me. If it weren't for her persistence and patient advocacy, I would have been stuck with a $2600 bill from Regence. I could not ever fully express my gratitude for that. I finally have the hearing aid I need and I didn't have to suffer financially for it! If you are in need of an audiologist, I strongly advise working with Leslie. She is so warm, kind and smart. If you are worried about finding the right hearing aid with the right settings, she will be able to tell what is best for you. She will also work with you as much as you need to make any changes specific to your comfort and your hearing. I also need to shout out Bailey, the front desk secretary - she is so sweet and helpful! Leslie and Bailey make an amazing team. You cannot go wrong with choosing Koru Hearing!!!!

After years of frustration with hearing audiologists in the Portland area, it was recommended to call Koru Hearing. they quickly addressed my broken aids, and got me back to hearing again. Since then, I have sent many of my friends her way. Like me, they all enjoyed the personal care that Leslie takes the time to do! Leslie really wants you to hear the best you can!

I went just because I was curious if I had hearing issues. I was truly taken aback by how cool the scheduler/receptionist was. Alert, positive, relatable, curious, engaged in her work. Leslie is super relatable and was a joy to work with. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a pleasant experience and high level of care

Leslie is the best audiologist I have had over the last 40 years. I come up to portland from the SF Bay Area to get my hearing aids periodically checked and my ears cleaned out.

I cannot recommend Leslie enough!! I called 4 other locations in the Portland area repeatedly with no success in getting an appointment-- either booked out ~1 month or didn't answer or return the voicemails. Leslie got me in right away, gave me comprehensive information, and even responded to a couple follow up questions via text. The prices were also reasonable (cheaper than the other place that could schedule me for an appointment 4 weeks out).

Hello, I have been a patient of Leslie at Koru Hearing, Inc. for 3 years now and she is wonderful! She is so attentive and thorough in her assessment of my needs; I would always recommend her and her husband as well for anyone's hearing needs. I am so grateful to have Leslie helping me with my hearing aids which are great! I am a pianist and hearing is so important to me. Thank goodness I found her from a friend's recommendation in Aurora, OR ! Linda kangas

I started wearing hearing aids over 5 years ago, but never really used them regularly because they were uncomfortable and just didn't work for me. I've gone to several other Audiologists and Leslie is the only one that has helped me actually use and wear them every day. She has provided the most friendly, helpful and comprehensive care. I can finally hear conversations in social settings now, so I'm very happy I found her!
