Looping
Looping is a very simple yet powerful technology that takes advantage of the "t-coil" installed in most modern hearing aids.
This technology can be used on an individual basis or for groups - large and small., HLA3 is willing and able to educate the public about the advantages of this technology and to assist with its installation and implementation.
The following is taken from the Looping Technology link below and summarizes this exciting assistive technology:
"People with hearing loss can dream of a future when hearing aids might also serve as wireless loudspeakers, delivering clear, customized sound from inside their ears. They can dream of communities where worship places, auditoriums, business windows, and home TV rooms all broadcast their sound through these in-the-ear loudspeakers. Thanks to the refinement of "induction loop" systems--which magnetically transmit sound to hearing aids and cochlear implants with telecoils (T-coils)-- that future can be now!"

HTRS: Hearing Technology Resource Specialists
Training/materials for this very valuable program are offered by HLAA at the State level, but a trained specialist typically functions at the local level in their own community.
For example, one of our members has posted his contact information at Turner Resource Center and volunteers his time to anybody interested in learning about the latest in asssistive technology for the hearing impaired.
Please visit our page titled "State Board Activities" for details about this wonderful program.
