Hearing Loop Information
What is a hearing loop and how does it work?
Hearing loops allow people who wear hearing aids to directly receive the audio picked up from the microphones without the need for additional listening devices. The hearing loop installed at FPC allows worshipers to fully participate in services.
Do you use hearing aids or cochlear implants?
You will need to find out if your hearing aid or cochlear implants have a wireless receiver called a "T-Coil" (or telecoil) installed. Usually the T-Coil is activated by pressing a button on the hearing aid. The T-coil program usually needs to be activated by an audiologist. Please talk with your audiologist for more information.
FPC has spare wearable headphone devices that can be used if needed. Please ask an usher if you have any questions.
