@arrowshooter I’m sorry to hear of your experience. That is so disappointing to hear. We shouldn’t have to ask for coils! The should promote them. There’s just a huge disconnect with audiologists who don’t seem to care about truly helping those of us w hearing loss. Many seem to just want to sell you aids. Those who do try to promote all the technology that is available run into the population that doesn’t care or can’t fathom the technology. Then when we have the t-coils and find the very limited number of venues that have loop systems it all becomes discouraging. We tried to get our church to install one but they had an FM system so stuck with that. Our HLAA chapter installed our own loop in the ceiling of the room where we meet. Now we’re having to find a new place and there are no sites in our area. We’re currently trying to get a loop installed in our library. The ability to understand speech is so exponentially improved with tcoils and loop systems I don’t understand why the hearing loss community isn’t broadcasting it and doing more to advocate for it!
