Hearing loops

  • We have hearing loops technology in all our branches.
  • They pick up sound from the microphone, rather than other noises, and send it wirelessly to your hearing aid.
  • You need to have your hearing aid switched to the hearing loop setting to use it. This is usually the T-position.
  • This can help improve your sound quality when speaking to our staff.
