out background noise which results in better clarity of speech. One of the biggest issues hearing aid users face is background noise, this is because the microphone of a hearing aid amplifies not just a person talking but every single sound. This is where induction loops can help, when a hearing aid user turns on the T switch on an aid this will allow them to focus on direct sounds being picked up by an induction loop\u2019s microphone.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are numerous different types available that we often pick up or recommend in our access audits.
