Headphones for the hard of hearing??

[ashikanath]

Our church wants to explore getting headsets for a few of our members who cannot hear the sermon. Is there any such thing as amplifying headsets, or a way to transmit from the pulpit to a headset? Bear with me if this sounds like a dumb question!

Look into "bone conduction" ear-pieces / headsets, etc.

There is an existing technology designed for this situation. It is audio looping. My church has it, and it allows individual hearing aids to react. Further, ushers have small receivers available for those without hearing aids. This site will explain. https://www.google.com/search?q=Looping+a+church+for+hard+of+hearing&oq=Looping+a+church+for+hard+of+hearing&aqs=chrome..69i57.18747j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
