Wireless Technology to Improve Communication in Noise

The technology options available to persons with hearing challenges include very sophisticated devices that can be worn at the ear and even completely in the ear. Despite the great advances in signal processing, individuals often still have difficulty hearing when there is background noise. One solution that is routinely applied in educational settings is the use of a remote microphone that is worn by the speaker. The signal from the speaker is sent wirelessly to a receiver worn by the listener. There are numerous ways the receiver can be coupled to the personal instruments worn at the ear level.
