Inductive loop systems are both
cost-effective and unobtrusive.
Unlike FM systems, induction loop systems are
easy to maintain and are compatible with telecoil-equipped hearing aids ¡X already owned by
many hard of hearing people all over the world ¡X
so you don't need receivers or headphones for each
hearing impaired individual.
They give the
hearing aid users a convenient wireless system as
the built-in receiver in the hearing aid draws no
extra current from the battery.
The 'T'
Symbol
Induction loops are all around
us in this modern world. But chances are you have
never heard of them.you will have most likely seen
the 'T' symbol (shown right) in all public
buildings, including banks, shops, churches and
meeting rooms.
This symbol is used to indicate
that the building uses induction loop technology
to aid their customers/employees with hearing
difficulties.
What is an induction
loop?
An induction loop is a coil of
wire through which an electrical signal is passed from an Induction Loop Amplifier. This may be
connected to a public announcement system or
simply a microphone. This coil then gives off a
magnetic signal which regular hearing aids can
pick up and amplify for the user, when they switch
their hearing aids to the 'T' position.
