Background
Noise has always been a problem for people who use hearing
instruments. In addition to amplifying speech, hearing instruments also
amplify other sounds which interfere with speech understanding. 
Research continues in digital signal processing and the applications of
directional microphones, but presently, the best method of coping with
background noise is through the use of assistive listening devices (ALDs).
ALDs are usually used in conjunction with hearing instruments to help
overcome the obstacles posed by noise and distance by delivering speech
information directly to the listener's hearing instruments. Transmitters
send speech signals by way of FM radio waves, infrared light or
electromagnetic induction. The signal is picked-up by a receiver and
delivered directly to the hearing instruments.
One reason ALDs have not been used to their full potential outside of
educational environments is that they have been cumbersome and noticeable,
consisting of cords, neck-loops or other body-worn devices. The bother and
self-conscious feelings that were part of using ALDs outweighed the
benefits of improved communication in the minds of many ALD candidates.
Fortunately,
developments in electronics have led to the miniaturization of ALDs, and
in some cases, the elimination of cords. These new products are easier to
use than their predecessors and provide the incalculable benefit of being
cosmetically discreet. Because of these improvements, ALDs will be used
with increasing regularity by more people in more settings.
