Hearing Loop Demonstration at Virginia Beach Bayside Library

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Oct. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Tuesday, October 28th  2pm-4pm Hearing Technologies, LLC will be demonstrating a new sound system at Virginia Beach Bayside Library, 936 Independence Blvd. called a Hearing Loop for those  who have any type of hearing loss, even if you don't utilize hearing devices. Please come and experience the system, which will work with hearing aids with T-coils or with a special set of headphones (which will be provided for our test). This system will enhance your ability to hear -- with a clear sound with little or no interfering background noise.

Following the demonstration, we will have the opportunity to speak to the experts, including a local audiologist and ask any questions.

What is a Hearing Loop?
A hearing loop, also known as an Induction or Audio Loop, provides a magnetic, wireless signal that is picked up by the hearing aid when it is set to ‘T’ (Telecoil) setting.

The loop system consists of a microphone to pick up the spoken word; an amplifier which processes the signal which is then sent through the final piece; the induction loop, a wire placed around the perimeter of a room  or a counter loop placed on a counter to act as an antenna that radiates the magnetic signal to the hearing aid.

When a hearing aid user selects the ‘T’ setting; he or she can pick up the sounds spoken into the system’s microphone instead of the hearing aid’s internal microphone. This results in improved speech understanding because the listener receives a clear signal without any background noise.

Hearing Loops are helpful in all public venues, including churches, pharmacies , banks, hotels, theaters and are ADA compliant.

Hearing Loops are also available for home and office use. Come hear the difference!
