Assisting the Hard of Hearing

Date: 1st June 2005

Ampetronic are acknowledged as world leaders in audio induction loop systems- the most widely adopted listening technology for the hearing impaired.

Ampetronics equipment is serving communities and governments throughout the globe. In the UK alone installations include the GLA, Whitehall, HM Treasury, Somerset House, The Houses of Parliament, Admiralty Arch, numerous Magistrates courts, council chambers, prisons, hospitals the London Underground and other public and private facilities.

Under the provision of the Disability Discrimination Act, public and private organisations have a duty to provide access to the hard of hearing where it is reasonably practical.

As the audio induction loop transmits directly to the hearing aid, the user needs no special equipment or connection. The technology can be used in most environments, including transient ones such as stations and airports. With Ampetronic's unique "Ultra Low Spill" technology, confidential applications can also be covered.

Simple complying with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act and a "tick box" approach to legislation is no guarantee of performance, reliability and, most importantly, a positive end-user experience.

Driven by a genuine desire to make a difference to the quality of life to the hearing impaired, Ampetronic provide a complete solution for almost any assistive listening application. Our products, design, support and consultancy services are unrivalled. We will guide you through the legislation and provide a solution that not only complies with it but has a positive impact on the hard of hearing and those meeting with them in your facility.

Installation can be carried out through one of our recommended installers or a professional contractor of your choice. The end result is the best possible one for the hearing aid user and Facility Manager.

In addition to our unique "Ultra Low Spill" technology, which confines the audio signal to within one metre of the loop perimeter, Ampetronic systems use patented technology to deliver a clarity in sound unequalled by any other system. Combined, these unique features deliver a system perfectly suited to high profile confidential applications such as police interview rooms, Magistrates Courts, council chambers and parliamentary committee rooms.
