Hearing & Induction Loops
Induction Loops Hearing Loops Audio Induction Loops - What Is It?
A hearing loop, often referred to as an audio induction loop, T-Loop or an audio frequency induction loop (AFIL), is an assistive listening system that provides access to facilities for those who experience hearing loss and use a hearing aid. The hearing loop provides a magnetic, wireless signal that is picked up by the hearing aid when it is set to the Telecoil setting. The hearing loop consists of a microphone to pick up the spoken word; an amplifier which processes the signal which is then sent through the final piece; the loop cable, a wire placed around the perimeter of a specific area i.e. a meeting room, a church, a service counter, a village hall etc to act as an antenna that radiates the magnetic signal to the hearing aid.
Listening Technology.
Whether you are a large corporate company, a Church or a public sector building, having proper listening technology for hearing aid users is a legal requirement. If your building isn’t accessible to the UK’s 11 million people with hearing loss, you are missing out. A hearing loop system can remove barriers and make your organisation accessible to all customers and staff who wear hearing aids with a loop or ‘T’ setting. For this reason, high quality hearing loop systems are essential in every sector. That’s where we can help.
