16 Oct Get more out of your hearing loop – for everyone

Hearing loop systems are an essential part of meeting equality legislation and creating an inclusive experience for hearing aid users.

Integrated in thousands of public spaces, loop technology benefits the millions of people who struggle to hear.

Spaces like theatres can have good acoustics, but it is often hard to follow the performance if your hearing is limited. Add in rustling sweet bags, coughs or conversations in the audience, and it’s even more challenging to hear what’s being said on stage. Congregants in places of worship could be sitting at the back and find it hard to hear a service, or the visual cues to a presentation being given in a meeting room might be obscured by a pillar.

Hearing aid users can use the T-setting to receive clear sound from the hearing loop directly from a microphone or sound system, overcoming the issue of background noise or poor acoustics.

Our RX-30 loop listener makes that signal accessible to everyone.

This pocket-sized rechargeable receiver picks up the signal transmitted by the loop which users then listen to through a set of headphones.

With up to 50 hours of battery life, the RX-30 can take users from curtain up to the final encore.  There is no latency, and the RX-30 suppresses both background noises and low frequency hums.  It removes the effort of trying to hear even in the last row, in spaces that are fitted with hearing loop technology.

Charging options suit venues of every size, with base stations for one, five, 10, 15, or 20 receivers. The prevalence of hearing loss is growing, but many of those effected still don’t use a hearing aid.  The RX-30 bridges that gap, transforming the overall experience of the theatre, the meeting, or the act of worship for people with limited hearing.

By making your hearing loop accessible to everyone, this simple hearing enhancement device can help increase footfall, participation, revenue, drive reputation, and maximise the venue’s investment in a hearing loop system.
