Hearing Loop Systems
Hearing Health is proud to be the voice for bringing this technology to Oregon. We started the Let’s Loop Oregon initiative in partnership with the Hearing Loss Association of Oregon.
We do not sell these systems ourselves, but we do provide interested parties everything they need, including qualified installers to have a Hearing Loop in their facility.
Hearing Loops are the lowest cost, highest sound quality, listening technology for churches, airports, public buildings, conference rooms, and homes where the hearing impaired can directly connect to sermons, announcements, speeches, music or any sounds they need to hear clearly.
Induction loops are the most simple, yet most effective way for people with hearing aids to get clear sound in difficult listening environments. They are common place in most public buildings in Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, and Europe.
Univox
At Hearing Health, we carry an assortment of useful assistive listening devices that are designed to make life easier for people living with hearing loss. We are committed to doing anything in our power to improve the livesof our clients who suffer from impaired hearing.
Univox is a company that specializes in designing and developing hearing loops. They designed the world’s first constant current loop amplifier in 1969, and haven’t looked back since. A hearing loop is a wire that surrounds a room and connects to a sound system. The sound from the system is transmitted electromagnetically through the wire, or loop. Hearing aids and cochlear implants have special receptors called telecoils that can pick up the sound from the loop and deliver it directly to someone’s ear.
No company makes hearing loop amplifiers as powerful as the ones that Univox produces. Their hearing loops are guaranteed to produce clear, audible sound in any event or situation, no matter how much background noise is present. Univox sets the standards for hearing loops, and they are committed to producing the highest quality loops in the world.
We at Hearing Health are excited to be able to offer our clients in the Portland, Tigard, Raleigh Hills and Beaverton areas with Univox hearing loop systems. Their hearing loops will enhance the usability of any hearing aid. Contact us today for more information.
Contacta Hearing Loop Systems
Contacta is a company dedicated to bringing sharp and audible sound to those who suffer from hearing impairments by using induction (hearing) loop systems.
There are many situations where background noise can interfere with someone’s hearing aid and affect their functionality. In these situations, it can be hard for a person to communicate and understand what someone is saying. Contacta aims to eliminate these annoying and frustrating communication problems.
Not many people know what hearing loops are, or that the vast majority of hearing aids are built with telecoils that are specifically made to be used with hearing loop systems. Contacta is committed to bringing hearing loops into the mainstream. They have established hearing loop systems in many customer service venues, such as ticket counters, banks and grocery stores as well as large venues with lots of background noise, such as stadiums and auditoriums.
People with hearing loss can sometimes have a very hard time hearing properly in the venues listed above. They present challenging background noise situations that most hearing aids just won’t work well in. By installing hearing loop systems in these venues, we are giving people with hearing aids the ability to hear clear, uninterrupted sound in any and every environment.
Hearing Health is a licensed distributor of Contacta hearing loop systems. We gladly provide Contacta products to our clients living in the Portland, Raleigh Hills, Beaverton and Tigard areas. Contact us today for more information.
