What is a Hearing Loop?

Hearing Loops allow people who wear
hearing aids to directly receive the sound
from the theater’s sound system in their
own hearing aids, much like Wi-Fi for
laptops. If you wear hearing instruments,
and they have a wireless receiver called a
T-coil or Telecoil built-in you will benefit
from the hearing loop in our theater. The
T-coil program is accessed by pushing a
button on your hearing aid. This T-coil
setting has to be activated before use.
Please consult your audiologist to ensure
your t-coils are properly adjusted.

If you do not have a T-coil equipped hearing
instrument, please feel free to stop by the
box office to pick up a hearing assist device.
