While hearing aids can help you stay connected to the world<\/a>, there are also many hearing aid accessories that can improve your listening experience in places where it might still be difficult to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes hearing loops and telecoils, which can help you extend the listening range of your device and hear better in public places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How They Work <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing loop systems use electromagnetic energy to transmit sound directly to your hearing aid. They consist of a sound source, an amplifier, a loop of wire and a telecoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telecoils, also known as t-coils are small copper wires coiled in most hearing aids. They work as a receiver that picks up electromagnetic signals from telephones and loop systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing aids that are enabled with telecoils have a \u201cT switch\u201d that lets you receive signals either from the hearing aid microphone or a loop system. When you switch on the T-setting, it turns off the microphone so that only signals transmitted from the loop system are heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
