What are Assistive Listening Devices?
n An assistive listening device (ALD) is any type of
device that can help you function better in your day-
to-day communication situations. An ALD can be
used with or without hearing aids to overcome the
negative effects of distance, background noise, or
poor room acoustics. So even though you have a
hearing aid, ALDs can offer greater ease of hearing
(and therefore reduced stress and fatigue) in many
day-to-day communication situations. Hearing aids +
ALDs = Better listening and better communication!

Set 840S + BA 300 + HD 408 Bundle
n This bundle offers DVA clients an alternative to the Set 840-TV or the Set 840-
S on its own. As well as a spare battery, the bundle includes a pair of
traditional Sennheiser ‘over the head’ Headphones (Model HD 408).
n To use as a hearing loop monitor simply plug in the Induction Loop as
provided, and set your hearing aids to the “T” setting (i.e. traditional use of
product).
n However, sometimes clients may prefer to not use their hearing aids e.g. late
at night, when their aids are in for repair or the batteries are flat, user comfort/
preference, etc. In these circumstances using the headphones is as simple as
unplugging the Induction Loop from the top side of the 840S receiver, and
plugging in the HD408 Headphones. The user can continue to use the
induction loop as the lanyard, or alternatively place the receiver in a pocket,
use the supplied clip or dedicated lanyard.
n This product bundle may suit clients who are not comfortable with the Set840-
TV placement around the neck. Please note, that this Bundle may not suit all
clients as there are obviously additional connection steps, and complexities
involved. The simplest unit to operate still remains the SET840-TV. RRP - $595
