Hearing Loops Rock! Do You Use Them? Do You Know Where They Are?

A neckloop can be used with any device that has an internal jack for a standard headset. If a venue has installed an FM system or an Infrared System (IR), a neckloop plugged into the FM or IR receiver the venue provides will work with your telecoils. Much nicer than having to take off your hearing aids to use a provided headset or ear buds.
Good to know you use the captioning equipment in movie theaters. Many don't know that's available either. Which captioning system do you use at movie theaters?

It depends on the theater so I have used both glasses and a screen type thing that you hold. I prefer the glasses even though they can pinch my ears after awhile.
Good to know about the neckloops. I didn’t know about that. I am assuming this is an added expense to the hearing aids. I remember having a neck loop several years ago. That was the latest tech to connect to TV. I had tried it but never ended up getting it because I thought it was too inconsistent at the time. It kept connecting and disconnecting. I’m guessing the tech has gotten better with that.
