Hi @daveshaw
If you go to www . hearingloop . org you can find
- a list of all the places in the country that have hearing loops
- A long list types of places that must have assistive listening (scroll down about 2/3 on the ADA webpage)
- and webpages to describe how to use the borrowed equipment and how to use your telecoil
If a facility doesn't have a hearing loop, they probably have an FM system. So in Denver, some of the places have FM systems: Empower Field, Comedy Works, DCPA to name a few.
There are usually very few infrared systems. Often the courts use infrared.

FM and IR can be used with telecoils simply by using a plug in neckloop rather than wearing ear buds or a headset that plugs in.
A hearing aid without a telecoil is like a car without air conditioning. You don't need it all the time, but when you do, you're sure glad you have it!
As stated numerous times previously...it's a real shame that the people who fit and sell hearing aids are not required to demonstrate the value of telecoils, so the consumer knows what they give up to not have them. Telecoils do NOT add cost to the product, but they are priceless in so many situations/settings.
