Univox Loop Systems now available from HearAbility
Bo Edin started Univox 1965. He was challenged by the fact that the needs of people with hearing loss were constantly overlooked in public venues as well as in their own homes. He developed the very first specially designed constant current hearing loop amplifier and received his first order for 100 pieces shortly after. Since that moment Univox has been the industry leader in hearing loop design and today more than 15,000 Univox hearing loop amplifiers are sold annually. HearAbility is proud to be associated with a company such as Bo Edin with their superior product range, both in terms of manufacturing quality and the installation outcome for the end user.

Inductive loop systems are both cost-effective and unobtrusive.
Unlike FM systems, induction loop systems are easy to maintain and are compatible with telecoil-equipped hearing aids — already owned by many hard of hearing people all over the world — so you don't need receivers or headphones for each hearing impaired individual.
They give the hearing aid users a convenient wireless system as the built-in receiver in the hearing aid draws no extra current from the battery.

The 'T' Symbol
Induction loops are all around us in this modern world. But chances are you have never heard of them.you will have most likely seen the 'T' symbol (shown right) in all public buildings, including banks, shops, churches and meeting rooms.
This symbol is used to indicate that the building uses induction loop technology to aid their customers/employees with hearing difficulties.

What is an induction loop?
An induction loop is a coil of wire through which an electrical signal is passed from an Induction Loop Amplifier. This may be connected to a public announcement system or simply a microphone. This coil then gives off a magnetic signal which regular hearing aids can pick up and amplify for the user, when they switch their hearing aids to the 'T' position.
