An Audio Frequency Induction Loop (AFIL), commonly referred to simply as an Induction Loop and also known as a Hearing Loop or T-Loop depending on your country of origin, is an assistive listening system that provides access to facilities for those with a hearing impairment. It takes a sound source and transfers it directly to a hearing aid without background noise, interference or acoustical distortion.
