1. A system comprising:
- multiple communicators coupled to each other over a local area wireless network, each of the multiple communicators comprising a microphone and a speaker operatively coupled to a signal processor, circuitry for assisting a hearing impaired person, and a graphical user interface depicting one or more available communication links associated with other communicators or an external source and wherein the available communication links can be selectively enabled by a user;
a controller operatively coupled to each of the communicators to provide a selected communication link between the communicators; and
,wherein the circuitry for assisting a hearing impaired person performs at least two functions from the group comprising;
wide band compression;
equalization, adaptive noise reduction, adaptive wind noise reduction, adaptive microphone polar pattern selection;
speech recognition; and
selection of said external source.
