Hi Group,

What is being discussed here is commonly referred to as 'an assistive 
listening device.'  I am really surprised that the Temple does not have them 
as part of their worship service.  Most synagogues and churches I am 
familiar with do have at least a few of them available for congregants with 
significant hearing loss.

Does the Temple have a device which allows people to hear with their 
receivers.
Some churches have this so that people can use a device to hear what is 
going on.
I think these things are also used at NFB National and State Conventions.
