Hearing Loop System

Hearing loops are a type of assistive listening device used by people with hearing aids / cochlear implants. They work by cutting out unwanted background noise as sound goes directly into the telecoil receiver in a person’s hearing aid. Hearing loops work with the help of a microphone, an amplifier and a loop cable, which acts as an antenna to direct sound toward a hearing aid.
