Solutions for Business
Inclusive teams are embracing our secure audio solutions, not just to meet compliance, but because they enhance training, interpretation, assistive listening, and tours, fostering an environment where everyone can engage and excel.
EMPOWERING INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Did you know that nearly 15%* of Americans ages 18 and over report some degree of hearing loss? That increases to about 33%* in older adults. Even for those without hearing loss, intelligibility can be adversely affected by distance, ambient noise, and poor room acoustics.
Ensuring access to every team member with assistive listening solutions transforms corporate spaces into inclusive environments where everyone can collaborate, learn, and thrive together.

How Do Assistive Listening Systems Work?
Audio Source
First, you must have an audio source. Whether it’s a single microphone, an aux output of a mixing board, computer/screen audio, or whatever audio you’re using in that space.
Transmitter
Then, run that audio signal to a transmitter that will rebroadcast the audio, wirelessly.
Audio Received
Audio will be picked up by a receiver that the listener will pick up from IT or a secretary. The participant will then listen to the audio through a compatible headset, or directly to the hearing aid via neck loop. Some technologies will transmit the audio directly to a hearing aid.
Choosing A Solution
Though they operate similarly, each wireless listening platform has specific function characteristics that can help determine what type of system is best for your corporate space.
ListenRF
Radio frequency (RF) systems function essentially the same as an FM radio station. An RF transmitter with an antenna broadcasts the audio signal. Since RF signals can penetrate most walls, the antenna is often mounted to the transmitter, though it can be remotely positioned. Each user, equipped with a compact portable receiver and personal listening device, can hear the audio signal. The receiver can be worn on a belt clip, in a pocket, or on a lanyard and allows the user to move about freely with no reception loss or dropouts.
Available in both 72 MHz or 216 MHz
ListenIR
An infrared (IR) assistive listening system operates much like an RF system, except the signal is transmitted via infrared light. An IR transmitter is connected to one or more infrared radiators that emit that infrared signal into the room. Radiators must be positioned in the coverage space since IR does not penetrate structural boundaries (walls, floors, ceilings) and only IR receivers within the room, with line-of-sight radiator visibility, can receive the audio. Two models of iDSP receivers – the most advanced IR receivers – are available.
ListenIR is secure and reliable
ListenTALK
ListenTALK offers both one-way and two-way communication
ListenTALK systems require one transceiver device to operate and can be used with additional transceivers or your choice of receivers. Pair these devices with docking trays or with built-in near field communication by simply tapping the devices together.
Docking stations give you a simple and convenient way to charge, store, and program ListenTALK transceivers.
Each charging slot features a tension lock that ensures secure charging connectivity, and each slot can be used to store ID cards or other items that are exchanged for and returned when the receiver is not in use.
From lanyards and neck loops to protective cases, ListenTALK accessories complement every application by adding functionality and features to customize your system based on the needs of your environment.
Hearing Loop
Powered by Ampetronic
A hearing loop amplifier is usually referred to as a ‘driver’ and is at the heart of a hearing loop system. A loop driver should not be confused with a voltage driver speaker amplifier as they are specifically designed to drive current into the loop cable.
ListenWIFI
Listen’s Wi-Fi technology (ListenWIFI) offers an innovative platform for wireless audio delivery and allows venues to use their existing network to do so. Providing one or more audio channels to a network audio interface lets the interface and Wi-Fi network function as the transmission system, broadcasting to Wi-Fi audio receivers and/or personal BYOD smartphones.
ListenWIFI features new hardware, including state-of-the-art Receivers, Beacons, 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-channel servers, and enhances software that simplifies system configuration and management.
The ListenWIFI experience
ListenWIFI servers operate on existing networks and can easily be configured from the management software. They are stackable to meet growing needs.
The ListenWIFI LWR-1050 receivers help meet legislative compliance requirements while giving guests a choice between accessing the audio via the receivers or their own smartphones by downloading the free customizable app.
Fully customize the listening experience through the ListenWIFI manager software and the ListenWIFI app. You control the colors, text banners, sliding promotional banners, custom channel names, and welcome ad or video. They’re intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to set their language preference and scan QR codes directly within the app.
