What is an induction or hearing loop?
In most cases an induction loop provides a
wireless, hands-free, background noise-free,
echo free listening experience for the hearing
aid user. In it's simplest form it is a wire
surrounding the listening area which
transmits a magnetic signal directly to the
hearing aid. The only requirement for the user
to be able to enjoy the benefits of the loop is
that a T-coil be installed inside the hearing
aid. More hearing aids are being fitted with
this inexpensive part as a matter of practice.

Our mission is to provide the elements that complete the
hearing aid user's investment and thereby greatly
enhance their hearing experience in nearly all environments
inLOOP Product Line


Personal Induction Loop System  

Personal inLOOP no antennae Part #01120
This unit is intended to be a replacement for
another loop device and does not have the
necessary accessories to transmit a signal. It
needs an installed wire or personal inLOOP
pad to create the induction loop field.

Retail Price $198.00


Personal inLOOP with PIP Part
#01127

This version of InLoop transmits a signal
through a Personal inLOOP Pad that
concentrates the signal in one area for one
user. The sound is picked up from the TV
speaker by a microphone built into the
revolutionary inLOOP noise canceling sound
chamber. Installation is as simple as setting
inLOOP in front of the speaker, plugging it
into the wall and sitting on the Personal
inLOOP Pad.

A wonderful feature available on
many hearing aids is called the
"telecoil". It's also referred to as a
"t-switch" or "t-coil".

It's nothing more than a tiny coil of
wire around a core that will induce
an electric current in the coil when
it's in the presence of a changing
magnetic field.

A telecoil, can therefore, be an
alternate or supplemental input
device for a hearing aid.

Normally, a hearing aid "listens"
with its microphone, then amplifies
what it "hears". But with a telecoil
used as the input source instead of (or
in addition to) the microphone, the
hearing aid can "hear" a magnetic
signal which represents sound.

Originally, the telecoil was meant to
"hear" the magnetic signal naturally
generated in an older telephone,
whose speaker was driven by powerful
magnets. This allowed someone with
a hearing aid to hear the telephone
better, if they just turned on (or
switched to) their telecoil as an input
source for their hearing aid.

Now there are many more magnetic
sources that can be "heard" by a
telecoil equipped hearing aid.

Even though newer phones are not
natural sources of a magnetic signal,
most phones contain extra electronics
to generate a magnetic signal and are
thus "Hearing Aid Compatible"
(HAC). What that means is that a
hearing aid with a telecoil can "hear"
the magnetic signal they put out.

In addition, because of the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA), many
public accommodations such as movie
theaters, theaters, auditoriums, and
sports stadiums provide Assistive
Listening Systems (ALSs), which may
include headsets or receivers loaned
to patrons to help them hear. Many of
these are HAC, so if you have a
telecoil equipped hearing aid, then
you can hear the magnetic signal ...
many times you can hear that a lot
better than you can hear an acoustic
signal.

Many churches, though not required
to provide ALSs, do so because they
know it's good for their members.

You can also use a telecoil to hear the
TV, telephones, in meetings, in noisy
restaurants, or in a noisy car if you
supply the magnetic signal using an
Assistive Listening Device (ALD)
coupled with a room loop, a neckloop
or silhouettes.

One major advantage of a using a
telecoil is that you can turn off your
normal hearing aid microphone, and
thus, not hear all the noise that
might be around you. You only hear
the magnetic signal, which doesn't
include all that noise, so you can hear
it a lot better.

Telecoils are avaiable (and not very
expensive) on most BTE hearing aids
and on some ITE hearing aids. A few
ITC aids may also have telecoils, but
normally, CIC aids do not.

Telecoils can provide that extra help
you need to hear in many otherwise
impossible situations. Ask your
hearing health care provider about
telecoils if you think they might help
you. Don't always count on your
provider to suggest it.

Loops are becoming more prevalent
in the USA so be sure to have a T-Coil
installed in your HA to take
advantage of this wonderful
technology in your home, car and
many public locations.
