Hearing Loops
Hearing Loops
In May 2011 legislation determined that under the Disability Discrimination Act determined that all large venues must provide adequate facilities to any person suffering from a disability.
The most common form of hearing loop is the Audio-Frequency Induction Loop System, these operate by broadcasting a signal over an integrated induction loop. Where hearing aids increase the volume of all sounds, hearing loops are able to amplify only the content being transmitted over the audio system. The benefit of using a hearing loop is that only the content that the user wishes to have amplified will be transmitted, which helps to eliminate ambient noise and other distractions. A hearing loop allows people with a hearing impairment to listen to lectures, movies or announcements accurately without interference from amplified ambient noise.
Hearing loops can be installed in any size room, be it a large function venue, a small meeting room or even a transaction counter (for example a reception desk or bank teller). Ideally a hearing loop should be integrated into the design when a room is constructed; however there are a number of solutions to retro fit an existing room.
The skilled team of installers at InSight Systems has experience working in all of these situations and can help you find the right solution for your building. So give our installation team a call today to determine which solution will best fit your venue.
