Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Installs Hearing Loop System
The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is the first theater in Sarasota to install the revolutionary Hearing Loop System for those who suffer from hearing loss, thanks to financial support from Sertoma Sarasota.
The "induction loop" system magnetically transmits sound to hearing aids and cochlear implants with telecoils (T-coils). The hearing loop is the only system that transmits performers' voices from the stage microphone directly into a hearing aid or cochlear implant equipped with telecoils for the clearest sound, allowing wearers to use hearing aids as wireless loudspeakers, delivering customized sound from inside their ears. The copper wire of the Van Wezel's hearing loop is placed at floor height of the Hall. A loop driver drives the electromagnetic field which allows a hearing aid or cochlear implant's T-coil to function as an antenna directly linking the listener to the Van Wezel's sound system. This system complements our existing infrared hearing system.
This hearing loop system was generously paid for by Sertoma Sarasota www.sertomasarasota.com. For more info visit http://www.audiologynow.org/ or http://www.hearingloop.org/ or The Hearing Loss Association http://www.hearingloss.org/
