RE: Assistive listening systems

"One, and most obvious, is, why in the world are you trying to do this yourself?! There are professional sound contractors everywhere who have at least a modicum of familiarity with this."

You may well be right. I do have a broad technical background, but that doesn't necessarily qualify me to tackle this, since my experience as a technician is in different areas. As I said, this is a small group. I was admittedly trying to save them some money, but clearly, doing it wrong isn't the way to achieve that. What I may end up doing is perhaps just the leg work...do the necessary research to allow us to make an intelligent decision, narrow down the field of contractors, etc.

"Connectivity to hearing aids would be cool, too, but I suspect that most wearers don't have such connectivity available at their end."

Actually, this I do know. My wife's hearing aids have this feature, and I think that most behind-the-ear hearing aids do have a T-coil these days. It's actually a very cool feature, but then it should be for what these things cost. There are also individual headsets that can connect to a loop system in the matter you describe, so a couple of those would be indicated. I don't think our needs would exceed that.
