Induction loop systems are at the top of many churches agendas now, after the terms of the Disability Discrimination Act came into force earlier this month. The Act, which you can read here, compels all public buildings to make “reasonable adjustments” to ensure easy access for disabled people, and fitting an induction loop is one of the most effective things a church can do to make its services accessible.

Legalities aside, it is important that your church is seen to be extending a welcome to the hearing impaired. More and more people in our society suffer some sort of hearing loss, especially amongst the elderly. A loop will become a more and more valuable asset as the years go by.

More information on hearing aid loops can be found in our "frequently asked questions" in the installation section.
