Technology

There has never been a better time to live more functionally with hearing loss. Today's technology gives so many options from hearing aids and assistive listening devices to make the most of the hearing we have, to cochlear implants the support hearing when hearing aids are not enough.
Telecommunications have advanced to being able to provide captions to read the speakers words in text, and live interpreters that support phone calls in American Sign Language.

In this section of our web site you will find a brief overview of Hearing Aids, including some resources for financial support, Cochlear Implants, Assistive Listening Devices and Telecommunications
