audio signal but also any competing background noise-also ambient noise and reverb;
ALDs that are designed to deliver the speech signal work by collecting sound from the sound
source, e.g. the talker's mouth and delivering it to the user's ear; in this way, the audio signal is
presented at an audible level, with a favorable signal-to-noise ratio, with minimal ambient
noise, without the effects of reverberation, and with little background noise; can be wireless or
