Hervey Bay Assistive Listening Devices
At Clayton Hearing in Hervey Bay, we help clients stay connected in day-to-day life by offering a range of assistive listening devices. These tools can bridge the gap when hearing aids alone aren’t enough—whether that’s hearing the TV more clearly, managing phone calls, or receiving sound alerts in noisy or quiet environments.
We guide you through available options to find something that fits your lifestyle and supports your everyday needs.
Assistive listening technology includes amplified phones, TV streamers, alerting devices, and personal sound amplifiers. These are especially helpful in specific situations, like hearing the doorbell, waking to an alarm, or communicating in a larger or noisier space.
Some people explore assistive devices as a first step before a hearing aid fitting, while others use them alongside aural rehabilitation to improve speech clarity or reduce listening fatigue.
We aim to provide practical, easy-to-use solutions that help you stay engaged and confident in daily life. To explore assistive listening options or book a consultation, call 07 4184 2043.

Finding the Right Device for You
We begin by learning more about your day-to-day needs. Are you missing key words in conversations? Struggling to follow TV dialogue without turning up the volume? Needing extra support when using the phone?
Based on your answers, we recommend assistive listening devices that fill those specific gaps. These might include Bluetooth TV streamers, amplified landlines, wearable microphones, or alerting systems.
Once we’ve found the right device, we demonstrate how to use it and check that it works smoothly—either on its own or in combination with your hearing aids. Many options connect wirelessly to your existing technology, so you don’t have to deal with complicated setups or unnecessary features.
If you use hearing aids, we’ll also check compatibility and show you how the devices work together for improved clarity and convenience.
We provide ongoing support and practical advice to help you get the most from your equipment. Assistive listening devices don’t replace hearing aids, but they can make a real difference—especially in challenging listening environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an assistive listening device?
An assistive listening device is any product that helps someone hear more clearly in specific situations. Common types include TV streamers, personal amplifiers, amplified phones, and alert systems. These devices improve sound clarity and reduce background noise, either by enhancing the sound directly or delivering it more clearly to the listener, with or without a hearing aid.
Who can benefit from assistive listening devices?
Anyone with hearing difficulty may benefit—especially in group settings, over the phone, or when watching TV. They’re useful for people with mild hearing loss, those not ready for hearing aids, or current hearing aid users who need extra support in certain situations. They’re also helpful for partners, carers, and family members who want to reduce communication breakdowns.
Can these devices work without hearing aids?
Yes, many assistive listening devices work independently of hearing aids. For example, amplified phones and personal sound amplifiers can be used on their own. However, some devices can also connect to hearing aids via Bluetooth or telecoil for enhanced performance. Your hearing care provider can help you choose the best setup based on your hearing needs and tech preferences.
