The concept behind a loop system is quite simple.

Most hearing aids have a 'T' position which allows them to pick up the electromagnetic field generated by a telephone's earpiece and convert it into a sound suited to an individual's specific hearing requirements.

A loop system uses this same principle but generates a much larger field than that created by a telephone earpiece and radiates it around a room via a 'loop' for the benefit of any hearing impaired person(s) located within it.

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), current Building Regulations, BS8300 and the new Care Standards Act all recommend the installation of an induction loop system (or similar) as summarised below:-

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995: States that any service provider offering goods, facilities and services to the general public must make 'reasonable' adjustments to ensure that they do not unlawfully discriminate against disabled people. From October 2004, any service provider who fails to make adequate provision could face prosecution.

Building Regulations (1992): States that newly erected or substantially reconstructed non-domestic buildings must provide aids for the hearing impaired. Areas requiring cover include booking and ticket offices with glazed screens, reception areas, auditoria and meeting rooms in excess of 100m2.

BS8300: The code of practice for the design of new buildings (and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people) pinpoints the following areas for consideration: seated waiting areas; ticket sales and information points; exercise studios; churches and educational, cultural and scientific buildings.

The Care Standards Act (2002): Demands that care homes provide certain adaptations and equipment for residents, specifically: 'facilities, including communication aids (e.g. an induction loop system), and signs to assist the needs of all service users.
