A Loop System can make hearing aids twice as valuable! Look for the blue logo on the left to identify areas that are equipped with a Loop System.
Due to the positive feedback we have received, we are now including Loop Systems at no additional charge with the purchase of new hearing aids! We are also in the process of installing Loop Systems thoughout the community.
Hearing Loop Systems use an induction wire that is placed around a room and connected to a sound source (Television, microphone, etc). Hearing aid users can then switch their hearing aid to the ‘T’ (T-Coil/Telephone/Telecoil) setting by a simple press of a button to experience dramatically enchanced sound quality. If your hearing aid does not have a ‘T’ program, you can still use a loop, but you will also need a ‘loop listener’. Some loop listeners are small boxes with headphones – others are worn as an earpiece.
Locations that already have Loop Systems installed include:
- Trinity Lutheran Church - Court Street - St Joseph
- Christian Reformed Church - Washington Ave - St Joseph
- Fairplain Presbyterian - W. Napier Ave - Benton Harbor
- St Paul's Lutheran - John Beers Rd - Stevensville
- Horizon Bank - Ship Street - St Joseph
- Van's Pharmacy - Napier Ave - St Joseph
- Many More to come!!!
Take a look at this picture to get an idea of how the Loop Systems that we've installed at the above locations work:
Loop Systems can also be installed in your home to amplify your television's sound as shown in this diagram:
