WHAT IS AN AUDIO FREQUENCY INDUCTION LOOP SYSTEM?
Audio frequency induction loop systems (AFILS) work by transmitting amplified sound to NHS hearing aids. Most hearing aids have a ‘T’ or ‘MT’ switch which allows them to pick up the electromagnetic signal generated by an induction loop system. The hearing aid converts this signal into sound suited to its user specific hearing requirements, allowing them to participate more fully in general conversation, ordering goods or services, etc.
Basic Operation:
- Take the induction loop amplifier out of its box and position it so its front is angled towards the hearing aid user and its back is facing you.
- Ask the hearing aid user to switch their hearing aid to the ‘T’ position.
- Press the amplifier’s on/off button once – the amplifier will beep to confirm it is ready to use.
- Talk to the hearing aid user as normal (you do not need to talk directly into the microphone as it has a wide pick up range).
- Check the amplifier’s ‘AFILS working’ indicators to ensure they illuminate in line with your speech (1 &2 is normal, 2 & 3 is too loud).
