Judysmayo, I've talked to quite a few audiologists about t-coils and hearing loops. They all agree with me (to my face) that both should be more common and are under-prescribed and under used. But I've talked to some of their patients and the patients never heard about hearing loops from their Audi.
While I advocate for hearing loops two of our local libraries have removed their desk top loop systems. When I asked them why they said they weren't being used.
I requested VA to install a hearing loop in the check-in desk and waiting room at our local VA clinic. First I was told that it would be a HIPAA violation, and after I sent them some information on hearing loops they just didn't respond. No sector of population has more hearing heath problems than veterans and this is what we get.
