Are Induction Loop Systems Better Than Infrared
OR Radio Systems?

• Neither Infrared or Radio systems can replace
  induction loop systems. Other technologies do
  have their advantages, however induction loops
  systems are the most versatile technology
  available, suitable for the broadest range of
  applications.
•  
• Infrared has the specific advantage that the
  signal does not cross walls and hence provides a
  very high level of confidentiality. It can also
  be used in multi-channel systems for simultaneous
  translation, where it is used purely as a
  communications system.
•  
• It suffers quite badly from shadowing, offering
  many situations in rooms where the signal is
  lost. Special receivers have to be issued which
  draw attention to the hearing disability. There
  are also very serious concerns about the
  standards of hygiene have the receivers really
  been cleaned and disinfected? The cost of these
  processes is a significant expenditure for the
  operator of the facility.

Radio systems are even less attractive. Apart
from the negative user response noted above,
there is a major problem with signal loss.
Professional radio microphones use diversity
reception to reduce signal loss due to reflection
of the radio signals from walls, etc.. This is
not possible with the radio receivers used for
assistive listening. Furthermore, there is a
major problem with shortage of frequencies and
confidentiality is totally non-existent.   In
comparison, induction loops have the following
advantages   Uses built-in T coil in hearing
aid Utilises internal tonal correction No
additional receiver needed Hygiene problems
eliminated No loss of special receivers from
venues Will work in conditions of bright light
and outside   REMEMBER THIS INDUCTION LOOP
SYSTEMS ARE FOR THOSE WHO USE T-COIL HEARING
AIDS. NO HEADPHONES OR ANYTHING BUT YOUR T-COIL
HEARING AID IS NEEDED. SOUNDWAVES ARE WIRELESSLY
TRANSMITTED DIRECTLY TO YOUR HEARING AIDS.
