We are happy to announce that we now have an assistive listening system in our church.

The new ListenWiFi system streams directly from our audio system to your own earbuds, headphones, or Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, with the help of your smartphone (or tablet) and the free Listen WiFi app.

ListenWiFi is convenient, inconspicuous and delivers high-quality audio. Here's how to get started:

1. Make sure your phone is paired with your earbuds or hearing aids.
2. Download the free ListenWiFi app from the App Store or Play Store.
3. In church, connect to our Guest St. Benedict wireless network with the password listen2us
4. Open the ListenWiFi app and select our Church Audio channel.

That's it! Steps 1 and 2 only need to be done one time. Next time you're in church all you'll need to do is open the ListenWiFi app and select our channel.

Tip for those listening with hearing aids: Choose a program mode in your hearing aid app that disables or reduces input from your device microphones to eliminate background noise and improve clarity. Check with your audiologist for assistance.

Don't have a smartphone or tablet? Listen Technologies has personal receivers available for purchase that can be used anywhere ListenWiFi is offered. Contact Jeanne Anderson for more information, or with your feedback about the new ListenWiFi system.
