Hearing Loop

"A Hearing Loop is a coil of wire that amplifies sound and reduces background noise. Users of hearing aids with a loop can set their aids to a certain setting to receive the transmission. Hearing loops can be permanently installed or portable," http://www.nsnet.org/start/deaf.pdf.  The permanent system is best for AV rooms or larger room settings in the school.  The portable system can be used in rooms from 30-450 square feet, so this type of loop can go with the student from smaller classroom to classroom.
