What is a hearing loop?

To use a hearing loop is it important to have telecoil-equipped hearing aids.

Over 80 % of hearing aids have a telecoil.  Check with your hearing aid provider to see if you have one.  If you do ask to have it activated and programmed for use.   Learn to turn it on and off when you need it.   Download the request card Do I have a telecoil?
