\;HEARING IMPA
IRED GUESTS
The Palace Theatre is now looped for the benefit of our p
atrons who are hearing impaired. Hearing induction loops are to people wit
h hearing aids what Wi-Fi is to computers and cell phones. Hearing Inducti
on Loops bring those who wear hearing aids back into the sound environment
s in which they need and want to participate. In other words\, there are m
any places where hearing is challenging and those environments make it dif
ficult or impossible for people with an aided hearing handicap to hear. Th
ese individuals will either have a difficult time hearing in\, or avoid th
ese environments. About 75% of hearing aids provided are equipped with a t
elephone coil or &ldquo\;T Coil.&rdquo\; When the T Coil is engaged\, back
ground noise can be reduced and the desired sound is sent directly to the
hearing aid T Coil\, and to the wearers hearing prescription. This enables
the hearing aid wearer to hear performances and speakers clearly without
environmental noise.
If you have questions about how a hearing loo p works\, or about how it works with hearing aids\, you can call \;HEA RINC \;at 234-347-0155. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
