Visual Needs
Larger print versions of the order of worship and hymns are available from the ushers at the Spruce Street entrance. Digital versions are available for tablets at tenth.org/worship.
Hearing Needs
For events in the sanctuary, we have a number of tools available to help those who have hearing needs. In the sanctuary, these tools only apply to content which is amplified. Music is not amplified.
American Sign Language
Some services are signed in American Sign Languages. Contact us to inquire about the current schedule.
Auracast
Auracast is a relatively new Bluetooth technology, which allows Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, and hearing-aids to connect directly to a broadcast in the sanctuary. How to connect varies depending on your device, but in most cases, you’ll find connection options through your hearing aids or headphone settings.
Auracast assistive listening broadcasts are available for all events in the sanctuary.
Note that Auracast is a new technology, and many devices do not yet have the capability. Android introduced support in March 2025. iOS has not yet introduced support.
Assistive Listening Radios
If you don’t have devices that support Auracast, you can get a radio from the ushers at the Spruce Street entrance. These boxes simply receive an FM broadcast, and you can connect headphones or a neck loop for compatible hearing aids. We have both headphones and neck loops available.
Assistive listening radios are available from an usher for all events in the sanctuary. Please remember to return the radios after the event.
Automatic Transcription
At the front right (west) corner of the sanctuary, we have a computer and monitor which display an automatic transcription of the words amplified. The transcription is imperfect, but many have found it to be helpful.
Automatic transcript is available for all events in the sanctuary.
Translation to Spanish
Some events offer simultaneous translation to Spanish through electronic devices. The procedure is the same as Auracast and Assistive Listening Radios, above.
Simultaneous translation is available only for select events.
