Several types of assistive listening devices are available to improve sound transmission for people with hearing loss. Some are designed for large facilities such as classrooms, theaters, places of worship, and airports. Other types are intended for personal use in small settings and for one-on-one conversations. All can be used with or without hearing aids or a cochlear implant. 3, record 1, English, - assistive%20listening%20device

Les vidéons sont à la vue ce que les écouteurs sont à l'audition. Ils projettent une image sur la rétine, mais en plus, ils contrôlent chaque mouvement du globe oculaire. À chaque mouvement rapide de l'œil correspond un rapide mouvement de la caméra; à chaque rotation de la tête correspond un pivotement équivalent des caméras, et ainsi de suite. La vue à l'aide de vidéons est, dans la plupart des cas, indifférenciable de la vue normale. 1, record 4, French, - vid%C3%A9on
