Discover Why You Should Consider Assisted Listening Systems

All Parishioners Benefit from Inclusive Technology Installations

Whether it’s a different language, hearing loss, or some other reason, there are times when your visitors may be unable to hear or understand your message. Thankfully, there’s still a way to include them in your sermon or presentation, thanks to advanced technological innovations that focus on bringing your message to them in a way that meets their unique needs.

Why Is Inclusivity Important?

It should go without saying that every parishioner that visits wants to hear your message. Instead of leaving some of them out of the loop and missing valuable information, using an assisted listening system paired with your audio/video system ensures everyone experiences your message as you intended for it to be heard. 

According to our research, one in five Americans experiences some degree of hearing loss, which is also considered an invisible disability. Other reasons someone may be unable to understand your message include them being an ESL speaker. Luckily, brands like Listen Technologies offer a wide array of technologies to integrate into your house of worship so everyone may hear the sermon loud and clear!

What’s Possible with Assisted Listening Systems?

Assisted listening devices amplify audio so the listener can adequately hear or understand a message. Microphones placed throughout your house of worship take the audio directly to someone via hand-held amplifiers. These amplifiers can be standalone devices or work via a smartphone app, depending on the type of system you have. 

Infrared (IR), radio frequency (RF), and Wi-Fi systems exist, as well as translation systems. Our team can help you determine the best fit for your parish based on your budget, congregation size, project timeline, and room dimensions. 

Take a look at this client testimonial from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church:

“PCD was one of several companies to make a proposal on the sound system in our church, and we are very pleased we chose PCD. The sound system has been a blessing to our parishioners, especially those with hearing impairments.”
