Listening aids for TV and MP3 Players

This loop system consists of a box with an amplifier and a loop of cable that is placed around the room.

The amplifier picks up the sound from the television and converts it to a special signal via the loop. If your child is within the looped area and they switch their hearing aid(s) to the 'T' position, their aids will convert the signal back into sound.

Your child will be able to adjust the sound without it affecting the television volume for the rest of the family. The loop system may be borrowed for two months.
