What is an Audio Loop?
An audio (induction) loop is a wire loop (or thin loop pad) attached to an amplifier. It creates a magnetic field that broadcasts sound, in pure, undistorted form, directly to people who are within the loop and have a hearing aid containing a telecoil. Aliant Pioneer Volunteers try to install “Audio Loops” to work with existing Public Address (PA) systems. These loops improve the sound quality of PA systems for people that wear hearing aids. Aliant Pioneer Volunteer “loops” can be found in churches, meeting rooms, theatres and classrooms across Atlantic Canada.
