General Information

This guide presents some (but not all) of the many ways that hearing aids, implant processors and headphones can be combined with the Williams Sound equipment that will be available for you to borrow (pick up stations will be posted). The next slide shows the Williams Sound devices that will be available. The rest of the guide will help you determine some of the ways you can take advantage of these devices.

This equipment will be available at the General Assembly, in the various sessions (where the front rows will be reserved for FM users), at the Poster Reception and in the Exhibit Hall.

If you plan to bring any of your own equipment and wish to connect it with the Williams Sound equipment, note that all of the jacks and plugs on their devices are 3.5 mm.
