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.
TYPES OF LOOPS
Counter Loop
These are compact hearing loop systems specifically for small areas such as customer service counters or information desks.
TYPES OF 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.
TYPES OF LOOPS
Dual-Loop
This loop employs multiple individual loop arrays arranged in a specific pattern to distribute audio signals more accurately. It is commonly used in large spaces such as theaters, conference centers, or places of worship.
