the background noise level is high or where glazed screens are used.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite this law being in place, many applicable built environments still fail to meet accessibility requirements under the Equality Act, by falling short of their requirement to provide any hearing enhancement system, despite Hearing Loops being the international hearing enhancement standard.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span class=\"simplyweb-checked\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: var(

of the importance of auxiliary aids, their inclusion is vitally important among people who are deaf and hard of hearing to communicate with others around them. An induction loop or similar should always be present at premises where visitors are likely to experience presentations, meetings, training, or any kind of interaction with another person.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although effort must be made to install auxiliary equipment where disabled people are likely to interact with a member of staff, receptions are often the most common area of the built environment for this scenario and are also the first experience a potential visitor will likely have with your facility.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-52c8e62 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"52c8e62\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-51ff695\" data-id=\"51ff695\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7ddc08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d7ddc08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9522db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d9522db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whether you provide an induction loop at your information counter or reception desk, is a make-or-break situation when it comes to how your facility is perceived by disabled people, as either inclusive to their needs or not \u2013 which in turn, could result in a loss of visitors, revenue, or interest, and will ultimately damage your brand. Conversely, being inclusive to the needs of disabled people will result in a greater visitor pool, boosting your public image, and unlocking access to the Purple Pound.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span class=\"simplyweb-checked\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">So, how do they work?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hearing loops work by not only allowing audio from a microphone to be transmitted wirelessly and directly to a hearing aid via a magnetic field, but they also reduce the background noise and reverberation that plagues a more typical microphone system, due to the acoustics of the space. What\u2019s more is that the number of users utilising an Induction Loop system has no detrimental effect to crystal clear sound quality they provide.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s also not just reception desks. Hearing loops make the difference between allowing a person to hear, or not to hear, in a multitude of settings. They\u2019re fit for purpose anywhere where a small group of people is likely to gather, such as classrooms lecture theatres, till areas, banks, cinemas, and places of religious worship. The list is endless.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s important to have signage to advertise the presence of a Hearing Loop in a public space, as well as the equipment itself. The symbol (seen, left) assures people with hearing loss that their needs will be met, and that your facility is leading the way in doing the right thing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); color: #000000;\">Direct Access has a team of disabled service engineers who can guide you through the entire process of installation, maintenance, and orientation of our industry-best Hearing Loop kits. Whether you install a single hearing loop or several across your site, our team can ensure that the equipment and this accompanying signage are advertised
