Learning about Hearing Loop Systems
Hearing aids are incredibly effective at enhancing a person’s ability to hear, but when used in a
crowded atmosphere they can quickly bombard the wearer with unwanted noise. Sizeable, open
areas such as audotoriums, places of worship, movie theaters and concert halls can be
particularly troublesome. The good news is that hearing loop systems make it possible for
individuals wearing hearing aids to easily focus on the sounds they want to hear – presentations,
sermons, movie dialogue, and music – without any undesirable distractions.
Hearing loops are a relatively simple bit of technology that works in conjunction with the telecoils
that are installed in many modern hearing aids. Originally, the telecoil feature was used primarily
to pick up on magnetic signals created by telephones. This allowed the wearer to easily listen to
telephone conversations without distraction from background noise. Hearing loop systems take
this concept a few steps further by creating a larger magnetic field for telecoils to pick up on.
A hearing loop system has several components, starting with some
type of audio input (usually from a dedicated microphone feed or a
public address system). The input travels into a hearing loop
amplifier, which then drives a current through one or several cables
that are looped around the venue. If the technicians who install the
hearing loop system do their jobs correctly, anyone wearing a
telecoil-equipped hearing aid will be able to hear the transmitted
sounds clearly wherever they are in the room, without any “drop-
out” or “dead spots”.
While newer technology such as FM transmission neck loops are becoming more established
among many establishments, hearing loop systems can still offer a number of advantages to the
hard of hearing. The fact that hearing loop systems are reliable, relatively easy to set up and work
with the telecoils already installed in many of today’s hearing aids makes them popular with facility
managers as well as with guests. They are also a much more subtle solution than neck loops and
other paraphernalia, allowing patrons to enjoy a movie, concert, or worship service without
embarrassment.
While hearing loop systems require some initial investment in terms of equipment and set-up, they
are a proven way for venue owners and managers to offer a high-quality listening experience to as
many visitors as possible.
