Digital Hearing Aids

Hello,

We have been asked again about the emergance of digital hearing aids, and their compatibility with induction loops.

Some very recent in-ear digital hearing aids do not have a "T" setting, and as such these device cannot pick up the signal from the induction loop at all. However these aids are often only for those with very mild hearing loss where the loop is not so essential anyway.

The vast majority of hearing aids still do have a "T" setting, so an induction loop is still of great benefit to many.
