Assistive listening equipment

A growing number of our classrooms have sound reinforcement equipment for assistive listening. 

Find classrooms with assistive listening equipment

Using the assistive listening headset

  1. Remove a headset from the charging cradle.
  2. Switch the unit on using the volume/power knob located on the bottom of the headset.

  3. Put the headset on; earphones are on top with the company logo on the bottom, facing outward for best reception.

    There are two images. The one on top is a close up of a person holding up a headset, which is a circular object with two earbuds on the ends. The bottom image is of a man wearing the headset with a large, flat microphone on the bottom.
    Examples of the assistive listening headset components. 
  4. Adjust the volume to the desired level.
  5. When you are finished, please return the headset to the charger cradle.

If you experience problems with this system or have further questions, please call the Classroom Support Hotline at 612-625-1086.

Tips

  • Any sound that is coming through the room's system should be audible on the headsets.
  • If you experience interference or static, try moving to a different location and be sure that you are facing the front of the auditorium.

Locating the equipment

  • The instructor station's drawer contains assisted hearing equipment for most classrooms.
  • For Mondale Hall 15, 35, 45, 55, and 65, find the equipment in the wooden box near the instructor station.
