Hearing assistive technology is your RIGHT for public places that use amplified sound. A Hearing Loop is the only form of hearing assistive technology that does not require all users to wear a headset.
What is a hearing loop?
A Hearing Loop is literally a copper wire that “loops” around a room and transmits sound that is picked up by the telecoil in a hearing aid or cochlear implant. The t-coil functions as an antenna directly linking the listener to the facility’s sound system. It is as if the microphone is speaking directly into the hard of hearing listener’s ear!
“The first Sunday the loop system was activated in my church was one of the most memorable days of my life. For the very first time I was able to hear every word and it was as if the pastor was speaking directly into my ear…Some of us had tears streaming down our cheeks.” ~Wisconsin Resident
