Assistive Technology
There exists a range of Assistive Listening Devices that can enhance your ability to cope in everyday life other than a hearing aid. ACE Audiology Melbourne is happy to assist those who may benefit from a range of options that exist.
There are a range of alerting devices for doorbells that are both acoustic or visual enhancements, including alerts for smoke detectors. You can also elect the torch function in your smart phone to flash on receipt of calls or messages. A number of “baby cry” alerts, vibrating and/or light flashing alarm clocks are also available at reasonable prices.
Some individuals have significant difficulty managing a hearing aid and various headphone alternatives exist that attach to a simple to use body worn amplifier. Amplified stethoscopes are also popular amongst health professionals. Special funding arrangements also exist for work related technologies.
There is a wide range of television transmitters used in conjunction with wireless headphones, which are available from ACE Audiology. Veterans may also have these devices funded subject to meeting eligibility requirements.
