Hearing Loop
Our Sanctuary offers a Hearing Loop for hearing aid users to enjoy the services better.
What is a hearing loop and how does it work?
Hearing loops broadcast the sound from the PA system wirelessly to hearing aids equipped with telecoils (T-coils). Most users rave about hearing clearly without background noise without the need to use a separate device.
Do you use hearing aids?
Ask your audiologist if your hearing aids have this wireless receiver called T-coil or telecoil to benefit from the Hearing Loop in our church. The T-coil program is accessed by pushing a button on the hearing aid or your smartphone app. The T-coil program must be activated by your audiologist. Ask if your instruments can have both a T ( no background noise pickup) and an MT program (blended microphone and T-Coil program) for improved hearing at church.
Hearing Loops improve hearing aids!
Digital hearing aids have significantly improved in the last decade, but they do not restore hearing to normal. Difficulties often remain when in challenging listening situations. Hearing Loops help hearing aid users overcome this problem by broadcasting sound without background noise or reverberation directly into the hearing aid.
For questions about your hearing aids and telecoils, talk to your audiologist or contact hearing loop advocate: Dr. Juliet Sterkins jsterkens@hearingloss.org
