What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
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.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Charge the unit with the included power supply, then watch the LED for battery status. - With a guide
- Place the unit on the counter or table between the speaker and the listener, within about two feet of where the listener will sit or stand.
- Turn it on and speak at a normal level, then have someone with a t-coil hearing device switch to t-coil mode to check the sound and the placement. Allow about 15-30 minutes.
