Hearing Aid Induction Loops
Tue, 21 July 2009, 09:52 pmDoes anyone out there in Perth theatre-land (or further afield) have experience with induction loops? I've done a bit of research, and the technology looks fairly simple.
What are the pitfalls?
Are there local equipment suppliers?
What costs are involved?
Is it worth the effort in a 120 seat theatre?
Not being a hearing aid wearer, I would be interested in the opinions of those who benefit from induction loops.
