Assistive devices: technology to improve communication.
Assistive devices, such as assistive listening devices, assistive alerting devices, and assistive signaling devices, play an ever-increasing role in the rehabilitation of hearing-impaired persons. These devices serve to alert a hearing-impaired person to changes in his or her environment that cannot be perceived auditorially, maximizing the person's hearing efficiency, enhancing communication, and fostering independence.
