How does a Hearing Loop deliver greater sound quality to more people?
It’s actually quite simple!

The sound source, such as a voice, TV, mixing console or other audio system, is captured using a microphone.

The microphone creates a sound signal that connects to an amplifier which passes the signal to the hearing loop.

The hearing loop (or induction loop) surrounds the area where the listening audience is located and carries the sound signal through the loop.

The sound signal is picked up by the telecoil (or t-coil) enabled hearing aids, cochlear implants, or headsets with loop receivers worn by participants with hearing loss.

Each individual who uses cochlear implants or wears hearing aids equipped with a t-coil can change a program and tailor the sound to eliminate background noise and enhance the full spectrum of sound for intelligibility. There is no need to check out a separate receiver.

A HEARING LOOP is the ONLY system to send clear, pure sound directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants without added receivers.

This universal symbol is displayed at venues with a hearing loop, prompting participants with hearing aids or cochlear implants to turn on their t-coils.

If participants with hearing loss don’t have t-coil equipped hearing aids or cochlear implants, the universal symbol alerts them to request a headset.
