Induction Loops FOR THE HARD OF HEARING
There are several different hearing induction loops now available from sensory uk. from: portable, hard wired and now the new wireless range.
Education Induction Loops
RF Soundshuttle™ & RF Clipboard Induction Loop
Education is one of the fields where our RF Soundshuttle and Clipboard have come into
their own for in-class use. The small and compact RF Soundshuttle is ideal for the younger student and the RF Clipboard is perfect for the College Campus as a multi-function product where to all intents and purposes it is an ordinary clipboard but in-class it is invaluable for note taking.
The teacher wears a radio microphone and the pupil can sit anywhere within 25metres of the teacher. They will hear clearly with their "T"-coil hearing aids and any number of students in the same class can have an RF unit all listening to the same speaker.
Outside the classroom the systems would be switched out of RF mode where they can be used at the lunch table or for group discussions as a normal short-range induction loop device.
What is an Induction Loop System and how does it work?
An induction loop allows hearing aid users to receive signals picked up and transmitted directly to the hearing aid telecoil-the ‘T ’position.
A person with impaired hearing will be able to overcome the difficulties of a noisy environment or poor acoustic space and hear more clearly.
The loop is an insulated thin wire which runs all around the perimeter of the environment to be served. The size of the field required can vary depending on the application.
The Induction Loop is served by a driver amplifier which is fed from a microphone and / or sound amplification system.
Induction Loop Systems
"The Royal National Institute for the Deaf estimates that some 8.7 million people in the UK have some degree of hearing loss."
With this in mind, the Disability Discrimination Act states that any business or organisation providing a product or service to the general public must "provide auxiliary aids and services (such as installing an induction loop) to enable or make it easier to use a service" wherever information is verbally provided. Full implementation of this legislation must be completed by October 2004.
In assisting to break down the barriers faced by many hearing-impaired people, Sensory Uk now provide a comprehensive range of fixed and portable induction loop systems to meet this legislation.
Meeting the requirements of almost any scale of application - from the largest theatres, churches and conference centres, to bank and ticket office counters, to smaller requirements such as meeting rooms and schools, etc; Acorn securities Induction Loop range has a high quality, cost effective solution.
