Wireless Hearing System
for Hearing Impaired
Thanks to the generosity of
Dr. Sandra Wendschlag of
Landmark Hearing Services, we recently
installed a special wireless system. You
will see a blue and white hearing symbol
like the one below to denote the presence
of the system. This system allows most
hearing aids to act as tiny loudspeakers
that deliver the sound from the P.A.
System (microphones, speakers, television,
etc.) directly into your ears.
If you have “telecoil” or “mic/telecoil”
mode on your hearing aid, switch it to
be connected to the sound system in the
room.
