Are your residents able to hear clearly when making phone calls or watching TV? Do they have difficulty understanding others in groups or one-on-one conversations? Are your residents able to hear equally during meetings, religious services, and other activities?
Studies show that most residents over 65 years old suffer from some degree of hearing loss. Hearing loss can dramatically limit residents' interest in social activities; it can also prevent them from communicating effectively with others, and generally can hinder their daily activities. Keeping residents active and engaged is essential for the success of any assisted living facility. Providing hearing accommodations to residents will help to ensure that hearing loss does not negatively affect their quality of life.
Manufacturers such as Williams Sound, Sonic Alert, Krown, and More offer a full line of hearing assistance products that benefit assisted living residents who have hearing loss, and the caretakers at the facility who need to communicate with them. For facilities looking to provide hearing accommodations for large room activities, such as religious services, meetings, or group activities, the FM Systems will achieve those goals. To assist individuals during one-on-one or small group conversations, the facilities should consider the Personal FM Listening System and the Pocketalker Personal Hearing Amplifier. To allow residents to listen to the television and telephone at the volume of their comfort level, we offer an extensive line of TV Listening Systems and Amplified Telephones. |
