Tom Larouere was used to Mass being a mumble of words.
But thanks to a new hearing assistance system, listening to the Word of God now is much clearer.
In December, St. Patrick Parish in Wentzville installed a system that includes a transmitter that broadcasts the church's sound system. Users wear a small receiver on a lanyard, which can either be plugged directly into telecoil (t-coil) hearing aids or used with a small earpiece.
