Loop Systems

We design our wide selection of hearing/induction loop systems to match the audio demands of your environment. Our systems provide a great audio experience for visitors with T-Coil-enabled devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Whether you need a loop for a reception desk, theater, or anything in between, we have you covered.

What is a Hearing Loop?

A hearing (induction) loop system is a hearing assistance technology. It uses copper wire and an amplifier to transfer sound to hearing aids, implants, and receivers by creating a magnetic field. This field delivers clear, amplified sound from the audio source in the room without background noise. 

Hearing loop variations exist for different rooms and settings: Counter Loops, Perimeter Loops, and Dual-Loops.

Perimeter Loop

These loops encircle an entire room or an area, creating an invisible "loop" that transmits audio signals evenly to all corners. This loop is designed for small spaces such as waiting rooms and small meeting areas.
