Assistive Listening
Inclusive audio access for every attendee.
Clear audio access is essential to an inclusive conference experience. Assistive Listening allows attendees to listen to live sessions on their own devices using their own headphones, improving clarity and comfort without specialized equipment.
Blaze’s Assistive Listening solution, by Volo.live, is designed to integrate seamlessly into live conference environments, supporting accessibility goals while keeping the experience simple for planners and attendees alike.
What We Do
Assistive Listening delivers live session audio directly to attendees’ personal devices. Blaze manages the capture, delivery, and on-site access so audio is easy to find and reliable throughout the event.
Our Assistive Listening solution commonly includes:
- Live audio delivery to personal devices
- Simple access via QR codes or links
- Compatibility with any headphones or earbuds
- Low-latency audio for real-time listening
- Integration with existing live production workflows
The result is a flexible listening experience that works for a wide range of attendee needs.
Designed for Accessibility and Comfort
Assistive Listening supports attendees who benefit from clearer, more controlled audio without singling anyone out or requiring special equipment.
This solution helps:
- Attendees with hearing loss or auditory processing challenges
- Guests seated far from the stage or speakers
- Attendees who prefer using their own headphones
- Events aiming to meet accessibility standards and expectations
Because it uses personal devices, the experience feels natural and inclusive.
Simple for Planners, Easy for Attendees
Traditional assistive listening systems often involve dedicated receivers, limited inventory, and added logistics. Blaze’s approach removes that complexity.
Benefits for event teams include:
- No physical equipment to distribute or manage
- No hygiene or battery concerns
- Scales easily to any number of attendees
- Works across multiple rooms and sessions
Assistive Listening becomes part of your event flow not an operational burden.
Where Assistive Listening Fits Best
Assistive Listening is commonly used for:
- Conferences prioritizing accessibility and inclusion
- Keynotes and breakout sessions
- Large rooms where audio clarity varies
- Events with diverse attendee needs
- Programs seeking a modern alternative to traditional ALDs
If clear, accessible audio matters, Assistive Listening provides a practical, scalable solution.
