There are some systems I have seen where a church will check out
personal monitoring for elderly/hard of hearing folks. I assume there
is one transmitter and several monitors - Who makes them and what

Many of them are infra-red which means the signal doesn't go through
walls, so you can use systems in different rooms without bleed-
through. Some systems have two or more channels for audio description
for blind people, or second language translation.
Some hearing impaired people will require an output for a neck look so
that they can use their own hearing aids on the T (telephone)
position.
You usually need a separate mix to go to the assistive listening
system, so there is some congregation/background noise when the
minister is not speaking, otherwise people can feel isolated.
Sennheiser is a popular manufacturer.

I've worked with a couple of these Ampetronics loop amps in churches. It may
be expensive to do the entire church, but you can do a section or two.
They do require hearing aids with T coils. Not all hearing aids have 'em.
