What is an induction loop?

An induction loop allows users of hearing device (switched to the T or MT position) to listen inductively to sound transmitted through a magnetic field without the interference of background noise.

The telecoil in a hearing aid picks up the sound via a magnetic field generated by the induction loop system.

Induction loop systems are often installed in locations such as churches, public halls and auditoriums, schools, lecture theatres, cinemas, service counter windows, information kiosks, offices, airports, train stations, and homes.
What is an induction loop?
An Induction Loop System consists of an amplifier and a loop. The amplifier is connected to a sound source such as a TV, a radio, a public address system or a dedicated microphone. It then amplifies this sound signal and sends it out, in the form of an alternating current, through the loop. n induction loop allows users of hearing device (switched to the T or MT position) to listen inductively to sound transmitted through a magnetic field without the interference of background noise.

The loop itself consists of insulated wire, one turn of which is placed around the perimeter of the room in a simple loop system. When the alternating current flows through the loop, a magnetic field is created within the room. The magnetic field "induces" the hearing aid telecoil or the Induction Loop Receiver.

A hearing aid user switches to the T or MT position on their hearing aid and picks up the fluctuations in the magnetic field. These are in turn amplified and converted by the hearing aid into sound.
The magnetic field within the loop area is strong enough to allow the person with the hearing aid or Induction Loop Receiver to move around freely in the room and still receive the sound at a comfortable listening level.

Advantages an induction loop?

In a noisy environment we all find it difficult at times to hear and understand what is said. For a person with impaired hearing wearing a hearing aid, it can be almost impossible.

Induction Loop Systems deliver sound directly to the hearing aid in pure, undistorted form. This optimises the benefits of hearing aids that are customised for an individual's specific hearing loss.

The signal provided by an induction loop system is not affected by the distance the listener is from the sound source, nor by any interfering background noises in the room. This can significantly improve the intelligibility of speech.
