Community Service

We have recently provided financial and sourcing resources for installation of looping systems at the Northfield Town Hall and Northfield Retirement Center.

So What is Looping?

A telecoil of T loop is a specialized circuit placed within hearing aids consisting of a small coil of wire.  It is designed to pick up magnetic signals versus acoustic signals.

Magnetic signals are created by induction loops. The induction loops broadcast the desired signal (sound) as a magnetic signal to a room with the induction loop installed.

Since the hearing aids microphone is turned off the magnetic signal is the only sound being heard creating a crisper and clearer signal for the user.
