Contacta HLD2 Hearing Loop Driver
$358.00
The HLD2 is a hearing loop driver for counter-style setups, like a service desk or ticket window, where one person talks to one other person. It takes sound from a microphone and sends it through a loop of wire (the loop aerial) as a magnetic signal. A person wearing a hearing aid or cochlear implant picks it up by switching the device to its T-Coil program, with no need to ask staff for help. The driver stays on all the time and drops into an energy-saving standby mode when it's quiet. It also has automatic volume control, compression, and a noise gate, and it checks itself continuously. The unit listed here takes a microphone input only, so you'll still need a microphone and a loop aerial to make a working system.

Contacta LA-240 Induction Loop Hearing Amplifier
$309.00
The LA-240 is a small-room hearing loop system. It sends TV or other audio straight to a hearing aid's telecoil (the "T" or "Loop" program) through a wire laid around the listening area. The wearer can set volume and tone for themselves without changing what others hear. The kit includes the amplifier, power supply, an optical audio cable, 130 feet of loop wire (covering up to about 750 square feet), a direct connection lead kit, and a microphone on a 4-foot lead. It has optical and coaxial digital inputs plus line and microphone inputs, so one room can feed several sources. It only works with hearing aids that have a telecoil, and the loop wire has to be run around the room.

Williams Sound PLA 90 Countertop Loop System
$420.00
The PLA 90 is a small counter-top induction loop. It picks up a speaker's voice through its built-in microphone and sends it straight to a listener's hearing aid, as long as that hearing aid has a telecoil (t-coil). It's meant for places like bank teller windows, retail counters, and information desks, where someone behind the counter needs to be heard clearly by customers with hearing loss. Its range is about 3 to 4 feet, so it covers one service point, not a whole room. It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery for up to 6 hours or on the included power supply, and it shuts itself off after 2 minutes of inactivity. An external microphone can be added, and it has a headphone jack and a volume control.

Contacta RX30 Loop Listener
$212.00
The RX30 is a pocket-sized receiver that picks up the signal from a hearing loop system and sends it to headphones, so you can hear a loop-equipped room's audio directly. It runs on rechargeable batteries and comes with a lanyard and a belt clip, so you can wear it around your neck or on your waistband. It's meant for someone who doesn't use hearing aids with a built-in loop setting, or who prefers headphones. Headphones are not included, so plan to bring your own.

Contacta Portable InfoLoop
$382.00
The Portable InfoLoop is a self-contained hearing loop for one-on-one conversations, with a built-in microphone, amplifier, and loop aerial in a single unit. A staff member talks near it, and a listener who switches their hearing aid or cochlear implant to t-coil mode hears the speech directly, with no extra receiver to wear. It suits places like bank counters, reception desks, pharmacies, checkout lanes, and one-on-one meetings. The magnetic field reaches only about 24 inches, so it works best when the listener stands or sits close. It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery for roughly 6 to 8 hours, weighs 3.5 pounds, and has an LED that shows signal and charge status. The listener's hearing device must have a working t-coil.

Williams Sound Proloop FSM Measurer of Induction Loops Systems
$520.00
The Proloop FSM Plus is a handheld meter that checks how strong and clean the magnetic signal is in a hearing loop system, following the IEC 60118-4:2006 standard. It reports readings for output level, frequency response, automatic gain control, distortion, and background noise. You can also plug in headphones to listen to the loop and judge the sound by ear. This is a testing tool for installers and audiologists, not a listening device for someone with hearing loss. It runs on two AA batteries, and the headphones are not included.

It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery rated for up to 30 hours, and it comes with a lanyard and belt clip for carrying. It offers up to 60 dB of amplification, and maximum output with earphones is 120 dB SPL, so use it at comfortable levels.

$259.95
The Maxi Classic is a handheld personal amplifier that picks up nearby sound with its built-in microphone and sends it to headphones or earbuds at up to 60dB of boost. It works best for one-on-one talks or small groups. A 9-step volume control and a tone control let you shape the sound to your hearing, and the noise reduction and feedback manager help keep speech clear. A telecoil mode lets you listen through a loop system where one is installed, and a 2.5 mm input jack lets you plug in an audio source. The big buttons and bright LED display make it easy to read and press, and both headphones and earbuds come in the box, so you can pick whichever is more comfortable.

Caption Companion
$1,599.00
The Caption Companion is an 8-inch tablet that turns speech into on-screen captions in real time, using AI that runs on the device itself. It works without an account, a subscription, or an internet connection, and it handles 18 languages and dialects offline (81 with internet). A wireless lapel mic comes already paired and picks up speech from about 30 feet away. For the best accuracy, the speaker clips it to their shirt. A custom audio cable lets you caption sound from an outside source, like an FM or loop system. You can add your own words so it handles names and specialized terms better. This suits a Deaf or hard of hearing person in a classroom, meeting, or place of worship. Transcripts delete on their own after 24 hours unless you export them.

STEP-HEAR Navigation System for the Blind
$99.95
STEP-HEAR is a wayfinding system made of two parts: a Base that a property owner mounts at a key spot, and a handheld Activator carried by the person who is blind or has low vision. The Activator vibrates when it comes within about 12 feet of a Base. Pressing its button plays a recorded message from the Base, which also tells the person how close they are and which direction to go. The owner can change the recording (up to one minute long), so it can announce a restroom, an exit, a bus number, or a hazard. It is meant for places like offices, schools, stores, stations, and ATMs, indoors or out, and the installation can be temporary or permanent. Because the Base has to be placed by someone who manages the space, the Activator on its own won't help in places that don't have one.

Listen Tech ListenIR iDSP Level I System
$1,522.00
This infrared assistive listening system sends the sound from a room's audio source to personal receivers, so people who have trouble hearing a speaker can listen through headphones or a neck loop. It's a pre-configured kit for small to mid-size venues of up to 50 seats, like classrooms, boardrooms, theaters, and training rooms. The kit includes a transmitter/radiator, receivers, and a 4-port charger. Because infrared travels by line of sight and stays inside the room, the audio stays private, but each listener needs a clear view of the radiator. The integrated neck loops or lanyards also work with T-coil-equipped hearing devices (T-coil is a small coil in many hearing aids that picks up sound wirelessly). It is built for single-channel use, meaning one audio feed at a time.

Williams Sound Loop Mat - Induction Loop Systems
$90.39
The Loop Mat is a flat nylon fabric pad with a two-turn wire loop built in. Connected to a Williams Sound loop amplifier, it creates a small magnetic field, roughly 36 by 36 inches, that hearing aids with a telecoil (t-coil) can pick up directly. It suits spots like kiosks, pharmacy counters, and bank teller windows, where one person at a time needs clearer sound. It can also go under a chair or couch to feed TV audio to someone sitting there. This is only the loop piece, so you'll need the amplifier and a sound source, and it should go under a non-metal counter because metal can interfere with the signal.

Williams Sound PLR BP1 Loop Receiver
$195.00
The PLR BP1 is a small receiver that picks up the signal from an induction loop system, the kind of hearing loop found in some theaters, worship spaces, and meeting rooms, and sends it to your headphones or earphones. It has on/off and volume controls, an adjustable tone control, and a low battery light, so you can shape the sound to what is comfortable. Headphones plug into its 3.5mm jack. This is only the receiver: you'll need your own headphones or earphones, two AA alkaline batteries (not included), and a loop system in the room to listen to. The batteries last up to 200 hours.

Neck Loop
$83.95
The Neck Loop sends sound from a phone, tablet, or speech amplifier straight to hearing aids that have a telecoil, so the audio goes right to your ears instead of through the room. You plug it into the audio source and switch your hearing aids to the T-position, the telecoil setting. It can also work with Bellman & Symfon amplifiers to boost what your hearing aids deliver. This is only the link between devices: it does nothing unless your hearing aids have a telecoil and you have a phone, tablet, or amplifier to connect it to.
