Do you know about Telecoils & Hearing Loops in Public Spaces?

I know about TV ears, worn while watching TV. I am thinking, from looking at your diagram, that this T-coil would be a good thing for churches and other locations, like auditoriums for City government and court rooms, perhaps for a doctor office. Could something of this sort be put into a home? to answer your question, No, I haven't heard about the T-coil.

Yes. In fact, it's quite simple to put a hearing loop in a home that connects with the television. People can also put one in their car and use it when traveling. Ticket offices, banks and libraries can have counter loops installed. The technology is actually quite basic.Go to Williams Sound website or one of the catalogs that advertise assistive technology. (HARC is one of them. For home use the product is reasonably priced and easy to install. Installation in a large venue like a church or theater, etc. is more complex. You can do this yourself at home. Back in the early 80s we built a hearing loop out of telephone wire and an amplifier and attached a hardwired microphone for our SHHH/HLAA chapter. Used it for years, until the venue we meet in installed a professional quality loop . 🙂
