Consult your healthcare provider to determine the right assistive technology for your needs.

What Are Hearing Loops?

A hearing loop, or audio induction loop system, helps you hear speech and music more clearly in public places by sending sound directly to your hearing aids or cochlear implants, reducing background noise and distractions. These systems improve your ability to understand, communicate, and fully participate in daily activities. Hearing loops can be found in various settings, including churches, concerts, meeting rooms, classrooms, cinemas, museums, public transportation, and auditoriums.
