Eversound Headphone System Helps Engagements
As the number of people being diagnosed with dementia grows, new methods of care to improve quality of life are constantly in demand. Being at the forefront of innovation in care has always been an important thread in the fabric of Silverado, so it was only natural that a fantastic new tool from Eversound would end up helping residents in all Silverado communities!
Eversound is a wireless headphone system that helps users hear clearly during movies, presentations, outings or any other activity that involves audio. Inability to hear or to focus can be a significant impediment to some residents getting the full benefit of engagements or activities, and Eversound creates a simple way to overcome these common issues. “We’re very excited to be adopting Eversound’s technology as a way to add a new dimension to the engagements our residents enjoy,” said Kathy Greene, Senior Vice President of Program and Services Integration for Silverado.
Referred to as a Group Listening System (GLS), Eversound is specifically designed to help deliver sounds directly and without distraction into the ears of those with hearing deficiencies or who lack focus due to dementia. A simpler alternative to hearing aids, users wear a comfortable set of over-the-ear headphones that are connected wirelessly to a microphone or other audio source.
“While hearing aids can be helpful, they’re often overly expensive, easy to lose and challenging to operate for users who lack manual dexterity. Our team is excited to deliver high fidelity sound to large audience members,” said Jake Reisch, CEO and co-founder of Eversound.
Though Eversound has only been in communities for a short time, engagement associates are already singing the praises of how it is helping enrich their residents’ lives!
