THE DISABILITY
DISCRIMINATION ACT
By 2004, organisations
(including churches and chapels) are
required to take reasonable steps to make physical changes
to buildings to ensure equality of access to services for
disabled people. As a matter of
good practice and consideration many
organisations have already
installed induction loop systems to their
buildings. If you do not have such a system,
you should take steps to
ensure that your building complies with
the regulations of the Disability
Discrimination Act.
If your
organisation needs an induction loop system, there can be a
major cost saving if it is installed at the same time as a
PA system is updated, installed or maintained.
We
can arrange to visit your church or other establishment free
of charge and discuss your own individual requirements and
specification of an induction loop facility.
Contact us for more details.
Induction loops can only
help hearing aid users. They are wired into new or existing
sound systems and carry a special signal which can be picked
up by virtually all modern hearing aids. The quality of
sound reproduction obtained in this way is vastly superior
to sound picked up by the hearing aid’s built-in
microphone, because the microphone will pick up all sorts of
extraneous noise, echoes, reverberation and so on which the
human ear can filter, but a hearing aid cannot. |
