Not necessarily. A t-coil offers crystal clear reception when tied to a . They where included in every hearing aid I have used. They also tie into land line phones that are commonly used in business office. They just have to have a t-coil rating 4 is best. It needs to be turned on by audiologists or fitter. Hearing Loops are found in movie theater, convention halls conferences. Some have a device that hangs on your neck to allow the t-coil to form a loop. There is a video that shows this and the difference in sound.

I run a small independent cinema in the UK and we have a system that works as follows. The customer is given a small receiver which hangs around their neck. This receiver picks up any sound track that goes through the cinema sound system via a radio transmitter. The customer will have their own personal loop system as the device will transmit the sound to their enabled . It works much better than our older system of the wire around the auditorium.

That is becoming used more in the states. I was at a theater before Covid shut everything down and they used that system it is awesome. I glad you brought it up. It does work great. Thank you.

The ship apparently has a Sennheiser wireless sound system. You should ask for a Sennheiser receiver with a neckloop or a 3.5mm jack to which you can connect a neckloop4

If you have a streamer with a 3.5mm jack for your , you could connect it to the appropriate Sennheiser receiver in the same way as I connect my ReSound (MultiMic) streamer to a Sennheiser receiver

I use a phonak loop/compilot. I have got it to work perfectly on three devices, all streaming. I cN hear voices perfectly when they are streamed through the look from, say a phone or laptop. I struggle to hear through my hearing aids, which is deeply frustrating. I cannot accept how sound through an induction loop can be so superior I am looking at possible solutions to listen to voices, through the loop. Tried is 14.?, but there is still a lot of latency which makes it unintelligible.
Any ideas out there?

You might consider getting a Roger receiver to plug into the Compilot and get a Roger Pen to go with it. That way anybody who speaks into the Roger Pen woud have their voice streamed to you.

I have a roger select. It sort of works, but I get a lot of distortion from it. Tend to lock onto loud voices which you are not even trying to listen to. What is your experience of the pen?

I just mentioned the pen because they can be obtained for less money than the Select. I’m thinking your Select may need some adjustments in the settings.

Geoff:
Can you clarify?

  1. Do you have a that your specialist has “activated”?
  2. Did he/she demonstrate hearing through a loop in their office?
  3. You should be able to hear the clarity that people above have mentioned. Also, there is no latency or battery drain.
  4. If not, Verifying telecoil levels - 2 slides.pdf (616.5 KB) ask that he/she “verify” your telecoil level, per these slides from HLAA.

Hope that helps.
