What is a hearing loop?
Hearing loop (sometimes referred to as telecoil or induction loop) technology provides a heightened level of clarity to the hearing impaired. It is like a radio broadcast to your hearing aid. By switching a hearing aid to the T position, you can enjoy hearing the intended communication while minimizing background noise. See "about hearing loops" for a more detailed look at how a hearing loop works. |
