Ensuring everyone can fully participate in public spaces is not just good practice — it’s a legal requirement under the Equality Act 2010. This important legislation requires service providers and employers to make reasonable adjustments so that people with hearing loss are not at a substantial disadvantage.
Our comprehensive range of assistive listening systems helps organisations comply while delivering clear, high-quality audio directly to users’ hearing aids, cochlear implants, or dedicated receivers.
We are proud to offer leading brands including SigNET, Ampetronic, Contacta and Williams AV. These trusted manufacturers provide reliable solutions tailored to different environments and needs.
Audio Frequency Induction Loop Systems (AFILS) are the most popular choice. A wire loop around an area creates a magnetic field that transmits sound directly to the T-coil in compatible hearing aids. Ideal for theatres, churches, conference rooms, museums, reception counters, and lecture halls, they offer excellent coverage with minimal visual impact. Options range from simple counter loops for ticket desks to large-area and phased array systems that prevent overspill between adjacent rooms.
Infrared (IR) systems use invisible light to transmit audio, providing secure, interference-free sound with no signal bleed through walls. They are perfect for courtrooms, boardrooms, cinemas, and confidential meetings where privacy is essential.
Whether you need a simple desktop solution or a full building-wide installation, our assistive listening solutions ensure clear communication, inclusivity, and full compliance. Explore our range today and create welcoming environments for all.
Please see our Assistive Listening Blog which explains a little about the different systems available.
