Induction Loop Systems

The Royal National Institute for Deaf people estimates that some 8.7 million people in the UK have some degree of hearing loss.

With this in mind, the Disability Discrimination Act states that any business or organisation providing a product or service to the general public is now required to make any reasonable adjustments to ensure an equal service to all its users/customers; by installing an Induction Loop System within your building/public area will go a long way towards ensuring inclusion of the hard of hearing.

Furthermore, British Standard BS8300 (the latest code of practice for the design of new buildings and their approach to meet the needs of disabled people) states that 'a hearing enhancement system (eg. an induction loop) should be installed in rooms and spaces used for meetings, lectures, classes, etc...'

In assisting to break down the barriers faced by many hearing-impaired people, we now provide a comprehensive range of fixed and portable Induction Loop Systems. Meeting the requirements of almost any scale of application - from the largest theatres, churches and conference centres, to bank and ticket office counters, to smaller requirements such as training rooms and classrooms, CS Comms can now provide a high quality, cost effective solution.

What is an Induction Loop System and how does it work?
• An induction loop allows hearing aid users to receive signals picked up and transmitted directly to the hearing aid telecoil (the 'T' position on a hearing aid).
• A person with impaired hearing will be able to overcome the difficulties of a noisy environment or poor acoustic space and hear more clearly.
• The loop is an insulated wire which runs all around the perimeter of the environment to be served, the size of the field required can vary depending on application.
• The induction loop is served by a driver amplifier which is fed from a microphone and/or sound amplification system.
