A lot of electronic equipment have the inclusion of a telecoil in the
manufacturing of the item. Almost all land line telephones have them as
standard. As do TV's and hi-fi units. I have 2 tiny MP3 players with the
facility. To fit speakers totally destroys the portability of the unit. Must
admit I did have a vision of walking down the road with a speaker attached
to either shoulder like matching parrots. A telecoil costs, I'm told, less
than a pound GB so not the dearest item in the world but one impossible, it
seems, to convey to someone who has no knowledge of them. They are the
clearest purest sound possible because _all surrounding distractions are
removed, even the sound of your own breathing.
