The telecoil of hearing aids is a system that allows better hearing in some circumstances. A specific device, called a magnetic loop, transforms a sound signal into a magnetic field that is perceived by the hearing aid coil. Often the letter T is found in the same name as the hearing aid model, indicating that this technology is available for that particular model. In the following section we will explain some interesting details.

How the hearing aid inductive coil works?

In order for the inductive coil of the hearing instruments to be effective, it is necessary to use an electronic device that serves as an emitter. There are different types, depending on the range that needs to be reached. It can be integrated in a short range device for personal use or with a long range device, for public places, cinemas, exhibition halls...

The magnetic loop converts sound into an electromagnetic signal that travels through the air and is picked up by a hearing aid coil. In this it is transformed into sound again and the hearing aid amplifies it and delivers it directly to our ears.

It is not an amplifier. The inductive coil of the hearing instruments receives the sound wirelessly so that it arrives directly, clearly and without interference. On the other hand, it allows you to continue listening to the noises that are generated around, although in a secondary place.

Advantages of the hearing aid coil

There are many reasons why the coil of hearing aids is advantageous. We show you the main ones below.

  • Satisfaction. It is possible to enjoy much more of the sound in places set up with this system, such as cinemas, theatres and other events.
  • International validity. It is not necessary to make any type of adaptation in the coil of the hearing aids. The system is implemented worldwide and you can benefit from it in any country you travel to.
  • No updates. No product upgrade required. Once you have it there are no changes or adjustments to make.
  • Ease of use. Just press a button to activate or disconnect it. Your audiologist can configure it for you without any problem.
  • No more battery consumption. Your hearing instruments will continue to use the same amount, whether you have this system active or not.

As you can see, the magnetic loop and the inductive coil of the hearing aids form a truly beneficial system. If you have any questions or want more information, ask for an appointment at one of our centers or consult us through the Claso Audiologia website. We will be delighted to assist you.
