Receivers and Couplers
ADAAG requires that receivers be provided to serve at least 4% of the total number of seats (but in no case fewer than two). Couplers connect the ALS receiver to the listener's ear. Recommendations: While a system may come with only one type of receiver, a variety helps meet the needs and preferences of different users. People often choose to wear their hearing aids while using assistive listening systems. It is important that couplers or receivers be compatible with hearing aids. Neckloops and headsets that can be worn as neckloops will be compatible. Receivers that arc not compatible include earbuds, which may require removal of hearing aids, silhouette transducers, earphones, and headsets that must be worn over the ear, which can create disruptive interference in the transmission.
