Loop Systems
Ferrosound have developed a wide range of television and audio listening devices for use by people with hearing aids. This range includes Personal Television Loops (TVL Series) and Silent Headphones (SH Series), both of which may be used wherever a normally hearing person would use a pair of headphones. In order to use these listening devices.your hearing aid must be fitted with a telecoil and switched to ‘T’.
In general, three types of output connector are used: SCART, Headphone or Phono. The electrical character of each of these outputs is different and may even vary between different models and manufacturers.
SCART Devices
Most modern TV sets are fitted with a SCART connector, for use with audio and video. TVL150, TVL250 and TVL 350 are personal loops designed for use with the SCART output. The SH1000/2000/3000 is a range of Silent Headphones for use with the SCART connector. All these products may be plugged directly into the SCART connector on your TV, without affecting the loudspeaker volume in any way.
When ordering your
SCART listening device, please specify the make and model number of your
televison set, and whether you wish to use the loop with SCART or Phono
connectors.
TV Listening Devices for use with headphone output
Some modern TV sets are still fitted with headphone sockets. However, the character of the headphone output differs between the smaller portable TV receivers and larger sets (21” screen and above). The TVL100 loop and SH110/125 Silent Headphones are designed for use with 15” and other smaller TV sets, in general, those which specify a 32 ohm headphone impedance.
The TVL125 TV loop is compatible with the headphone output of larger TV sets or, in general, those which specify a headphone impedance of 32-600 ohms impedance.
Both the
TVL100
and TVL125
plug directly into the headphone socket using extension lead supplied. Please note that, in some TV
receivers, the headphone socket will switch off the loud speaker. In
other sets, it is possible to control the headphone and loud speaker
volume independantly. For further details refer to your TV operating
instructions.
Home Loop System
In the HLS-30 system, a loop is installed around your living room and coupled with your television via a special induction loop amplifier. Home Loop Systems are also supplied with a microphone, to pick up conversation or general room sound (such as telephone ringing).
The CLS-30 is a home loop system incorperating a cushion loop, for use where it is necessary to limit the range of the loop transmission, for example in flats or residential accomodation.
