Hearing Loop System

The Church has a loop system that may assist people with hearing loss by diminishing background noise. This system has been disconnected for an extended period of time. For people wearing older hearing aids, they would have to turn on the T function. For people with newer hearing aids, they should discuss with an audiologist if their hearing aid can be adjusted internally to benefit from a loop system. If people learn that could in fact benefit, please let me know and arrangements will be made to get the system operational. 

Island Deaf and Hard of Hearing, a non-profit society, employs two audiologists. For people in financial need, donated hearing aids can be made functional for their hearing needs at no cost. For people that purchase hearing aids through IDHH for the same price as commercial retailers, all funds are used to support the numerous programs offered by the Society.
