A complete system consists of a sound source, an amplifier, a loop of cable and a receiver or telecoil. Once you\u2019re in close range of the hearing loop, your hearing aids will pick up a clear signal free of background noise. Most of <a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonhearing.com\">today\u2019s hearing aids<\/a> feature built-in telecoils, thin strands of copper wire designed to receive magnetic transmissions from public audio systems.<\/p>\n<h3>The benefits of hearing loops include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy, discreet, instantaneous communication access for people with hearing loss.<\/li>\n<li>A simple, low-maintenance way for public venues to provide communication access to the hearing-impaired.<\/li>\n<li>Universal hearing access for those who wear hearing aids.<\/li>\n<li>Compliance with the <a href=\"https:\/\/adata.org\/learn-about-ada\" title=\"Learn about ADA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Americans with Disabilities Act<\/a> (ADA) and other local\/state laws for public venues looking to improve communication access.<\/li>\n<li>An inclusive, welcoming and thriving hearing-friendly community for all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looping technology is becoming increasingly popular and widespread public venues throughout the upper Midwest. Induction loop systems can be found in arenas, classrooms, auditoriums, churches, airports, malls, shopping centers and, of course, movie theaters. As standardization of t-coil switches by different <a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonhearing.com\">hearing aid manufacturers<\/a> continues, the number of hearing loop systems is expected to grow in the coming years.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Moviegoing Tips<\/h2>\n<p>Not all theaters have induction loop systems. You can still enjoy the big screen experience if you bring along an assisted listening device, a portable amplifier designed to give your <a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonhearing.com\">hearing aids<\/a> a boost in challenging listening situations. Popular devices include FM systems, which amplify sound and send it directly to your hearing aids via radio signals; infrared systems, similar in concept but utilizing beams of infrared light instead of radio waves; and personal amplifiers that allow users to aim directional microphones in the direction of an audio source to increase its volume.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on hearing loop systems and other assisted listening devices, contact your audiologist in Iowa, Minnesota or South Dakota today.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn more about Hearing Aids<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonhearing.com\/the-importance-of-hearing-aid-counseling\/\" title=\"The Importance of Hearing Aid Counseling\">The Importance of Hearing Aid Counseling<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonhearing.com\/the-high-cost-of-untreated-hearing-loss\/\" title=\"The High Cost of Untreated Hearing Loss\">The High Cost of Untreated Hearing Loss<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonhearing.com\/noise-cancelling-headphones-can-save-your-hearing\/\" title=\"Noise Cancelling Headphones can save your hearing\">Noise Cancelling Headphones Can Save Your Hearing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moviegoing is a popular pastime throughout Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota.
