A pocket talker is a portable personal communications device that improves the listening experience for a hard of hearing person who does not wear a hearing aid. The speaker talks into a hand-held or lapel microphone, and the sound is transmited directly to a headset worn by the hard of hearing person, thereby eliminating a significant amount of background noise. The system requires close proximity of the speaker to the listener.
