If you have hearing loss<\/a>, hearing aids can help you enjoy clearer, quality sound in all different environments. However, sometimes additional hearing aid technology can make your listening experience even better.<\/p>\n

What Are Hearing Loop Systems? \"Large<\/h2>\n

Hearing loops are an assistive listening system that can be found in many public places like museums, convention halls, houses of worship and performance venues like the Golden Gate Theater. They\u00a0use electromagnetic energy to transmit sound directly into your hearing aid<\/a> or cochlear implant. They consist of a sound source, an amplifier, a loop of wire and a telecoil.<\/p>\n

Telecoils, or t-coil as they are sometimes called, are small copper wires that exist in most hearing aids and all cochlear implants. When activated, they act as a receiver in the loop system that lets you stream sound directly into your device.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re at a large public event, it can be difficult to hear speech or music with all the competing background noise. By streaming sound directly into your device, they help to eliminate this noise and customize the sound to provide you with high-quality hearing.<\/p>\n
