Induction Loop Systems are used to assist the hearing impaired by transmitting amplified sound, i.e. music, speech, etc, to hearing aids. Demand for them is set to soar due to new legislation aimed at discrimination against disabled people.
BS8300 (2002)
British Standard BS 8300 is the code of practice for the design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people. The standard recommends that “a hearing enhancement system, using induction loop, infrared or radio transmission should be installed in rooms and spaces used fro meetings, lectures, classes, performances, spectator sports or films, and used at service and reception counters where the background noise level is high or where glazed screens are fitted” (9.32).
It pinpoints the following areas for consideration: seated waiting areas; ticket sales and information points; fitness suites and exercise studios; churches; crematoria and cemetery chapels, educational, cultural and scientific buildings.
