At Sound Planning AV, we believe that every voice should be heard clearly—by everyone. Whether you're hosting a live event, leading students in the classroom, or delivering a keynote address, providing an inclusive audio experience is more than good practice—it's essential. That’s where Assisted Listening Systems (ALS) come in.

What Are Assisted Listening Systems?

Assisted Listening Systems are specialized technologies designed to help individuals with hearing loss or auditory challenges engage fully in live experiences. These systems deliver direct, clear audio to personal receivers or hearing aids, cutting through background noise and improving speech intelligibility.

Why They Matter in Churches and Event Venues

1. Accessibility Is a Legal and Moral Responsibility

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), many public assembly spaces—including churches and performance venues—are required to offer assistive listening solutions. Beyond compliance, it’s a way to show that everyone is welcome and valued in your space.

People with hearing loss often feel isolated in communal settings. Offering assisted listening ensures they can fully participate—whether it’s a worship service, a town hall, or a sold-out concert.

2. Audio Clarity in Challenging Spaces

Churches and large event venues often have unique acoustic challenges—high ceilings, hard surfaces, and unpredictable crowd noise. Even the best PA systems can’t solve everything. Assisted listening devices cut through the mix and deliver crystal-clear sound directly to the listener, regardless of where they’re seated.

3. Enhance the Experience for All Ages

Hearing loss isn’t just an issue for older adults. Younger audiences and attendees with temporary hearing difficulties, language barriers, or auditory processing disorders also benefit from ALS technology. It’s an investment in engagement, inclusion, and satisfaction.

4. Simple, Scalable, and Tailor-Made Solutions

From infrared and FM-based systems to modern Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled receivers, Sound Planning AV offers a range of solutions tailored to your venue's size, layout, and needs. Our systems are discreet, easy to use, and fully integrated with your existing sound setup.
