How It Works
Compact and easy to use, the Williams Sound counter loop readily accommodates individuals with hearing difficulties. The counter loop system picks up a person’s voice from the rear integrated microphone (or an external microphone can be used) and transmits the speaker’s words directly and clearly to a listener’s hearing aid equipped with a T-coil. The listener can pick up the audio when they are within four feet of the counter loop system. This technology allows private conversation while maintaining moderate voice levels.
