  • Title: Assistive devices: technology to improve communication.
    Author: Pehringer JL.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1989 Feb; 22(1):143-74. PubMed ID: 2523033.
    Abstract:
    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.
