A loop or induction loop system in simplified terms is a loop of insulated wire fixed around the outskirts of designated listening area connected to a Induction loop amplifier and a microphone.
The microphone picks up sound from the sound source and feeds  the sound to the loop amplifier, which in turn sends the sound signal in the form of a current around the loop. The current flowing through the loop causes the wire to act like a transmitting aerial. On entering the room the hearing aid user moves the on/off switch of their hearing aid to the 'T' position. In order to receive this signal. Almost all hearing aids have this facility NHS or private.

In special circumstances where more then one loop is to be used in adjacent rooms the design of the whole system needs to be carefully planed so to avoid "bleed over" from the other systems. This involves running copper tape under the floor covering in a special computer aided  designed pattern or running the main loop (approximately) 1m in from the edge of the room and second loop around the perimeter of the room out of phase with the first. These methods result in elimination of the  bleed over effect that may result in environments such as school classrooms.

The copper tape may be used in a standard installation under the floor covering.

The Main Advantages of an Induction Loop System are:
Clear audio, free of background noise.
User unaffected by distance from sound source.
Standard NHS hearing aid compatible
