An induction loop system transmits an audio signal directly into a hearing aid via a magnetic field, greatly reducing background noise, competing sounds, reverberation and other acoustic distortions that reduce clarity of sound.
This diagram illustrates how they work.
Audio Inputs 1, either from an existing audio source such as a P.A. system or from dedicated microphone inputs feed an audio signal into an Induction Loop Amplifier 2. The amplifier drives a current into a Loop 3 or series of loops. As the current flows through the cable it creates a Magnetic Field 4 in the required area – careful loop and amplifier design ensures that the vertical component of the field is even and free of dropouts and dead zones wherever the user might be. Inside most Hearing Aids 5, a small coil known as a Telecoil 6 picks up the magnetic field signal, which is amplified into a high quality audio signal delivered directly to the ear of the hearing aid user.

For over a decade, the city of Vienna in Austria has played host to a free Music Film Festival. And there are few places one could think of that could be better to take in the late night delights of open-air screenings of opera, operetta, dance and concer
When the Grade II listed Royal Hall in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, saw major repairs begin in 2006, the opportunity was taken to look at installing a comprehensive induction loop system.
