Another great feature of our newly installed sound system is the ability to amplify the sound for those who need additional assistance. While the system is set for the “average listener,” there are two additional options to boost your ability to hear well. The first option is a receiver and headset, made for those who do not use a hearing aide or whose hearing aide does not connect via blue tooth. The second option is a receiver with a lanyard that connects wirelessly to blue-tooth enabled hearing aides. Both styles are provided with detailed instructions and can be checked out by seeing a Usher at the doors of the church. It is our hope that these devices provide an added layer of sound and allow our parish family and guests to hear and participate in the Mass comfortably.
