Induction loop systems, also known as AFILS (Audio Frequency Induction Loop Systems), are one of the most effective and widely used assistive listening solutions for people with hearing loss. These hearing loop systems work by generating a magnetic field through a loop of wire installed around an area. This field transmits clear audio directly to the telecoil (T-coil) in compatible hearing aids, dramatically reducing background noise and delivering crisp, intelligible sound straight into the user’s ear. The majority of NHS hearing aids have a T switch and many privately sourced digital hearing aids have the function available – it may need activating by the audiologist or it may be accessible via the manufacturers App on a smartphone. By switching to the telecoil, the internal microphone is switched off so that ambient noise and chatter is no longer amplified, making the required audio much clearer and easier to understand.
Our range includes a comprehensive selection of induction loop amplifiers and complete assistive listening kits suitable for every application. From compact counter and desktop models designed for one-to-one conversations, to portable rechargeable systems and powerful wall-mounted or rack mountable drivers capable of covering large areas up to several hundred square metres. Many systems feature multiple inputs for microphones, TVs, and PA systems, with options for perimeter loops, phased arrays, and metal loss compensation for challenging environments.
These commercial induction loop systems help businesses and organisations comply with the Equality Act 2010 by providing essential accessibility. They are ideal for reception counters, banks, post offices, and retail tills where clear communication is vital. Larger installations suit meeting rooms, classrooms, lecture theatres, conference halls, places of worship, community centres, and auditoriums. Vehicle-specific kits are popular for taxis, minibuses, and coaches, while home and TV lounge systems improve daily living for individuals.
Whether you need a simple counter loop or a professional large-area solution, our induction loop systems deliver reliable performance, easy installation, and excellent value. Enhance inclusivity and customer experience with high-quality assistive listening technology trusted across the UK. Browse our full range today and create more accessible spaces for everyone.
Where privacy is a concern, an infrared hearing system may be more suitable. The telecoil setting is used again in conjunction with a personal IR receiver & neck worn loop. For more information, please see our Infrared Hearing Systems page.
