Hearing through an induction loop
More and more public places, churches, theatres and cinemas, have
induction loops systems. In these particular rooms, they transmit,
wirelessly, the sound of the presenter or show. At home, radio or
television can be connected to an induction loop system. Sound
quality through induction loop is often better because noises from
the environment are not transmitted.
• Switch your instrument to the telecoil program.
• Choose a good spot. Reception is not clear in all locations; it
depends on the position of the induction loop. Watch for signs
or try a different seat yourself.
• If needed, adjust the volume up or down.
• After the service or show, switch your instrument back to the
microphone program. You will now hear through the
microphone again.
• If the sound of your hearing instrument in the telecoil program
is very soft all the time, ask your hearing care practitioner to
make an adjustment.
• Your hearing care practitioner will gladly provide you with advice
regarding an induction loop system at home. Ask for it.
