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

What setup looks like
- With a guide
- Place the unit on the counter near the speaker, set it on the rubber feet or use the position marker, and plug in the power supply or charge the built-in battery.
- Add the signal strips to mark where customers should stand or sit, then adjust the volume and check the status light shows the loop signal is active.
- Test with a person who has a telecoil hearing aid set to the T program to confirm the sound is clear. Plan about 20-30 minutes.
