Videos-What Hearing Loops Sound Like

Assistive Listening Systems provide clarity.  Listen yourself!

FM and IR systems sound similar to hearing loops.

Subway (less than 2 min)

Lecture (less than 1 min)

Music (less than 1 minute)

Starkey Synchronous recordings (each less than 2 min)

Audio clips: City Hall, Historic chapel, airport baggage claim, airport ticketing area, and information desk.

Starkey has developed a system that allows for researchers to make recordings that are taken simultaneously from both a hearing aid microphone and telecoil while the user listens in different environments where hearing loop systems are present. Each recording is split in two, with the first half being taken from the hearing aid microphone, and the second half being taken from the hearing aid induction coil, which picks up a hearing loop system.
