A Loop System works in conjunction with a T-Coil equipped hearing aid. The majority of hearing aids in
recent years either already come equipped with a T-Coil or may have a T-Coil added at minimal expense.
The T-Coil is a function of the hearing aid that allows the wearer to receive sound electromagnetically via
the speaker wire/PA System, feeding the sound directly into the ear. This process eliminates unwanted
background noise and improves the clarity of sound.
A speaker wire is run the perimeter of the listening area. Wiring may be placed in cement and crawl
space, behind floor boards and molding, under carpet and tile, etc.
Your listener simply places his/her aid on the T-Coil setting and what is coming through the PA System will
be fed directly into the hearing aid. If there should be individuals that do not have hearing aids/t-coils, a
receiver/headset may be used instead.
In the event your facility experiences strong electrical interference, you may want to consider an FM
System , which sends sound via designated channels. Some examples that would cause unwanted
electrical interference might include poorly shielded electrical, PA, and Video System wiring.
