Portal rescue has two hearing assistive technologies available for meeting organizers to setup for their meeting attendees.

  1. A hearing loop has been installed for hearing aids equipped with telecoil (AKA tcoil).  Telecoil recievers have also been acquired by community members for use by those that don't have telecoil equiped hearing aids.  You can find more information on hearing loops and telecoils here.  

  2. Bluetooth Auracast transmitter and one receiver have also been acquired for use in the Portal Rescue classroom.  Auracast is a relatively new one to many bluetooth broadcast technology.  Additional receivers can be acquired if there is positive feedback from the community on its performance.  In time, hearing aids and mobile phones will be compatiable with this technology.  Devices that support Bluetooth version 5.2 and above may already be cable of joining an auracast bluetooth broadcast.  You can find more information on Bluetooth auracast here.
