What is a Hearing Loop?
Hearing loops are assistive listening systems that assists people with hearing loss, and are found in facilities that use an audio system (i.e.,a microphone, such as in churches, lecture halls, or stage performances, etc.)
It provides a wireless signal that is picked up by hearing devices with telecoils. When hearing aid users are inside the loop, the sound is sent directly to the telecoil in their hearing device. This feature not only extends the listening range of hearing devices, it also eliminates background noise, and creates speech clarity, thus increasing listening comprehension and enjoyment.

A telecoil is a small copper coil installed in the majority of hearing aids and almost all cochlear implants. A telecoil (AKA t-coil or T-program) serves as a wireless receiver, which is the universal platform that connects to all ADA mandated assistive listening systems (hearing loops, FM, and infrared).
