[access-uk] Re: INDUCTION LOOPS

Hi Carol
I use induction loops all the time but it's something almost people other than users find impossible to understand. I don't profess to understand it but just accept it works, and works well. The sound it pure sound with no annoying irritations. All interference is eliminated and al you hear is the sound you want coming through your hearing aids. If the person who wants this is unfamiliar with using loops/couplers the easiest way to test it is to make a phone call on a corded land line. Turn the aids to the T position and listen. This does not work with cordless or mobiles and none of those are fitted with induction. The difference between couplers and loops is purely terminology. All are couplers but some are extended to loops to go round the room or personal ones to go round the neck.
Sellers are the RNID from their Sound Advantage cataloguer and Conevans from their Dear Equipment website. For personal listeners Steinhauser do a real great quality range but far more expensive because of the higher level of quality.
I can be of more help but I need to know what your friend is looking for and the level of hearing loss. I think also it would be better off list.

HI all,
I posted this a day or two back but didn't see any replies so forgive the repost ...
I know someone about to purchase an induction loop ... and thought I'd help by 
getting some information.
I know RNID, Deaf-Blind UK and Sense could tell me these things - but I know some of you have used them and so would value your input. Don't Hagger sell 
them also?

What sort of things need to be taken into account when purchasing?
