Hearing loops use a microphone, an amplifier and a “loop cable” (which acts as an antenna) to direct sound to a hearing aid.
At Pearson, we have installed Counter Hearing Loops at multiple locations throughout the airport, which sit on top of counters, such as information desks, gate check-in counters, and more.
The person behind the desk is able to speak into a microphone which will amplify their voice for passengers with a hearing device set to “T” for Telecoil.
All counters equipped with a hearing loop are marked with the universal hearing loop sign.
