Hearing loops are fast becoming a requested amenity in senior living communities across the country. With so many options available for senior living, the installation of a hearing loop technology in a senior living community serves as an immediate differentiator between brands. THe presence of a hearing loop in a senior living community also signifies to residents and families that your building “gets it” when it comes to addressing the needs of its residents with hearing loss.

While FM systems gather dust in audio-visual closet, hearing loops are the assistive listening technology that your residents will actually use and give you rave reviews for installing in your community!

Large or small, a hearing loop system exists to meet the needs of your residents in a variety of hearing situations. Hearing loops can be of benefit to senior living communities in any area where you need to communicate more with your residents.

Some examples include:

• A Hearing Loop in the community room(s) or wherever you have public speakers and background noise which reduces the audibility for residents trying to hear.
• A Counter Loop at the front desk and/or concierge.
• A Portable Loop for your Wellness Center to help facilitate conversations with residents who need hearing assistance but don’t wear a hearing aid or have t-coils.
• A Table Loop in the dining room to help those who can’t hear in the dining room due to all of the background noise have meaningful conversations again at dinner time!
