What is a hearing Loop System?
These are a recommendation under the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act), BS8300, The Care Standards Act and CQC.
A hearing loop (also known as an induction loop) is an assistive listening technology that works in conjunction with a hearing device or cochlear implant to tailor the sounds to each individual's hearing loss.
This cuts out all confusing background noise to allow clear, focused sound.
Already installed in millions of locations throughout the world, they provide the accessibility many need to engage and communicate freely.
Three out of four people with disabilities have walked away from an enviroment due to a lack of disability awareness and poor service.
Hearing instruments such as hearing aids amplify close proximity sounds and are effective for short distances.
The omni-directional microphones in the hearing instrument picks up all the sounds, including the background noises.
This make it difficult to distinguish the speech, music or conversation in noisy enviroments.
Hearing loop technology improves communication by enabling users to hear the sound sources only, by direct transmission to the instrument, cutting out background noise.
Hearing loops also transmit the sound from the source to the hearing instrument across large areas, beyond the capabilites of the instrument itself.
