STAY ACTIVE STAY CONNECTED BE HAPPY

Sometimes when care home residents choose to stay in their rooms rather than join group activities, the reason might be simple: they can’t hear what’s happening — even with hearing aids.
In fact, most of elderly people in residential care live with some level of hearing loss. Without the help of an assistive listening device like a hearing loop, personal listeners such as Echo MinitechT, TV Listeners or even simple Vibrating Alarm Clock it can be hard for them to enjoy the day to day activities such as cooking, playing games, exercising or just talking to relatives or visitors.
By fitting spaces like lounges, cinema rooms, and activity areas with hearing assistive technology, you can make sound clear and welcoming, while cutting out background noise.

When residents feel included, activities become more enjoyable — boosting wellbeing and creating a real sense of community, especially that autumn is around the corner and people will spend more time indoor.
And for your home, it’s also a wonderful way to stand out and show families that you go the extra mile.
We’d love to chat about the affordable solutions available and how we can help you bring joy and connection to every resident.

The first hearing induction loop was patented back in 1937. Since then it has been a slow process to get businesses to invest in technology they cannot hear themselves (unless they wear aids) and once installed, maintaining that equipment so it is in working order when needed (again, not easy to test if you don’t wear an aid, but not impossible*)
One of the most effective tools for improving communication in a public or professional location is the hearing induction loop system.

So; what is an inductive loop? In simple terms, a hearing or induction loop system (usually just referred to as a loop system) is an assistive listening device that helps people with hearing aids or cochlear implants hopefully hear more clearly in noisy environments or across distances.
They work by creating a magnetic field that transmits sound directly to hearing aids fitted with a ‘T’ (telecoil) and activated when the aid is switched to the loop or T setting/programme. These fantastic devices can transmit to as many people in a designated area as need it.
Rather than amplifying sound like a speaker, an induction loop allows the listener to hear speech or audio directly into their aid, with reduced background noise and echo, just what is required if you have a hearing loss and wear aids. Without the aid or other loop enabled devices, the transmission is not detectable.
Loop technology is looked on by some as ‘Old School technology’ but until ‘Auracast**’ technology is commonplace in hearing aids (still at least 8+ years away) the loop is still the only device that will transmit to one or thousands without the need for the listener to wear anything other than their hearing aid.

If you are interested in finding out more about loop technology and the way it could improve access to your business by your customers, please drop us a line at enquiries@hikent.org.uk

*If you are a business that has a loop system and want to be able to test it to make sure it is working, contact HI Kent.
** Auracast: Is a new Bluetooth feature that enables one-to-many audio sharing, allowing multiple devices to connect to and receive audio from a single transmitter.

Equality Act 2010: Section 20, Duty to make adjustments.
Where a disabled person would, but for the provision of an auxiliary aid (in this instance a loop), be put at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to provide the auxiliary aid.
Put in a loop. Get Deaf Awareness training for your staff, provide captioning devices so families can enjoy the cinema at a time to suit them without inconveniencing others with subtitles on the screen. All this = making reasonable adjustments. Just think what you can do or enjoy because you can hear! So much changes when you lose or start to lose your hearing.
