Hearing
A hearing loop is an assistive listening technology that improves communication by enabling the user to hear the sound source directly, therefore reducing background noise. Users can participate in a hearing loop system through a hearing instrument such as a t-coil enabled hearing aid, cochlear implant, or loop listener. Sound and/or speech is converted into an electromagnetic signal by a hearing loop amplifier. The electromagnetic signal is transmitted via the hearing loop wire or aerial. Users that are inside of the hearing loop wire or within close proximity of the aerial pick up the electromagnetic signal through the t-coil program in their hearing device. The sound and/or speech then gets transmitted directly into the user’s ear. This significantly reduces the effects of background noise. Our product range makes hearing loop systems more accessible to the user, event, and community landscape. Hearing loops are custom, unique, and carefully designed at each venue where they are installed. The need for custom products is recognised with exclusive functions and features to meet the user’s needs and desire to hear in the settings in which they work, live, and socialise.

One-to-One Hearing Loop Systems
1 to 1 hearing loops allow customers with hearing loss to freely engage with staff at counters or in situations where interaction between two people takes place. Enhance customer service with crystal clear sound and efficient management of power consumption.
IL-K300 Above the Counter Loop Systems has a hearing loop aerial located within the signage, which is fixed to a counter, desk or glass surface to enable customers to easily identify the loop and get maximum benefit from it. The unit can be fitted into many positions due to its low profile structure.
LA240 Room/TV Hearing Loop System provides a practical solution for hearing aid users to more easily listen to their TV or Audio equipment via the “T” or “Loop” program of their hearing aid. With no direct connection between the user and TV or Audio equipment the user can move freely within the looped area and listen comfortably to a TV or audio equipment without the distractions of normal listening. The Loop System is used in conjunction with a hearing aid with a “T” or “Loop” program found on many ‘behind the ear’ or ‘in the ear’ hearing aids.
The Loop system picks up the sound from a TV via a direct connection or microphone and feeds it to the amplifier. The sound is then passed to a loop of wire around the listening area, which in turn transmits the sound inductively, “magnetic sound waves”, to a hearing aid with the loop facility. The user may then adjust the loop volume or tone to suit their hearing preference without affecting others.
The Loop System is supplied with either Loop Cable or Loop Pad. Loop cable is placed around a room that you want to listen in. The sound can be heard anywhere inside the “looped” area and sometimes just outside the loop as well. A Loop Pad is an alternative to loop cable and is used to create a localised or portable system to avoid interference with other systems or where confidentiality is required.

SENTIBoard
SENTIBoard is a unique sound board with no equivalent product available in the market. Sentire translated from Italian means: Feel, Hear, Sense . The SENTIBoard has been designed and developed specifically for UAE to assist in becoming the People of Determination Center of the World. SENTIBoard principle of work: Q: Can hard of hearing people feel sound waves? A: As long as they can feel vibrations they can feel the rhythm of music and enjoy music just like hearing people.
“The perception of the musical vibrations by the hard of hearing is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain”

These wireless alerting systems convert acoustic signals, such as when the doorbell or telephone rings, into flashes of light or vibrating pulses. Wherever you are inside or outside the house, you can’t miss a signal. The transmission and reception equipment is ready to use immediately. There is no need for any elaborate cabling.
Means of Transmission: RF transmission: The systems use radio frequency. No wiring is necessary between the transmitters and receivers. A digital coding is used when transmitting to enable interference-free operation without restrictions due to defined radio channels. For example, the operation of a large number of separate systems within a building is possible without any problems.
The transmission range can be up to 200 metres! The individual pairing of the devices with each other also provides a very high number of different transmission channels and it is almost impossible for the neighbour’s system to interfere with yours.
How Does an Alerting System Work? An alerting system consists of at least one transmitter and one receiver. The transmitter picks up signals from a variety of different sources – such as the telephone or the doorbell – and transmits them to the receiver. The receiver reproduces the transmitted information as light or vibrating pulses.
The Doorbell Visual Alert System is a flexible and expandable alerting system, easy to customise. It has a choice of 15 chime sounds with an adjustable volume of up to 90dB and a bright strobe light. The wireless alert system operates up to 200m from the bell push and the receiver has 8 different indicators meaning that you can be alerted to different events within the same room by adding different transmitters to the system.This system performs very well with a good loud sound, clear visual indication and bright strobe. The doorbell push that is included in this system can be used at either the front or back door, or works well as a personal call button.
Features:
- Portable/wall mounted wireless chime unit with Bell Push
- Range up to 200 metres from Bell Push
- Choice of 15 CD quality ring tones and 8 Visual Icons

- Pre-programmed Push to Ring and self-learning to avoid interference with neighbours ring tones
- Easily extended to include additional Bell Pushes, Universal Sound Detectors, Smoke Alarm Transmitters and Telephone Ring Detectors
The Phone Visual Alert System is portable for use throughout the room(s) or can be wall mounted. The receiver has 8 different indicators meaning that it will alert to different events within the same room by adding different transmitters to the system. The receiver will alert by using very loud selectable ring tones (>90dB), a bright flashing light and also visual indication symbols. This system comes with a telephone transmitter, this telephone transmitter can be plugged into any telephone socket and when the phone rings it will send a wireless signal to the Visual Alert Receiver which will then indicate the telephone symbol, will ring like a very loud telephone and also flash.

The Traveler Set provides hotels and holiday residences with economic possibility of furnishing the rooms or cabins to be used by guests with hearing impairment.
The Traveler Set is portable and secure. The devices from the Traveler Set do not require permanent installation, thus allow the liberty of furnishing the room or holiday accommodation for the required period only. If multiple Traveler Sets are used within the same building, each will transmit events on its own transmission channel – without interference.
The Traveler Set consists of the following transmitter & receiver components of the alerting system:
- The Door Hanger shows visitors or service personnel that you do not want to be disturbed – or that they may ring the doorbell
- The Wireless Call Button is your doorbell. It is equipped with a velcro backing so that it can be fixed to the door hanger in an instant. It transmits the ring signal to the alarm clock
- The Receiver Alarm Clock is a convenient digital alarm clock and serves as a receiver for incoming calls and alerts. These are displayed through bright lights, illuminated icons and strong sounds
- The Vibrating Pad: if preferred, wake-up calls and events can be felt by vibration – just connect the vibrating pad with the receiver alarm clock
- The Alarm Monitor Alarmo: it scans the environmental sounds for tone patterns which are typical for smoke detectors and fire alarm systems of all kind. If it recognises an according alarm tone, a signal is sent to the receiver alarm clock.
The Visual Alert System Transmitters
Alarmo Transmitter:
There is no need to replace your smoke alarm because alarmo can detect the alarm sounds from existing smoke alarms without the need for any modification or wiring. It incorporates a highly intelligent processor to listen just for a typical smoke alarm sounding and so is extremely good at not creating false alerts. When an independent alarm is detected alarmo transmits a radio signal to all receivers within range, which will then alert you to the event.
This Smoke Detector:
Works seamlessly with the Visual Indication system. It operates as a standard smoke alarm, but also sends a wireless signal to a Receiver so that a user may be alerted by Loud sounds, Visual indication and Vibrations.
The Alarm Clock:
Is the latest addition to the range of wireless alerting systems. It provides night time coverage and will alert you to any alerts in the home, it utilises intelligent digital technology, which offers a wide range of waking methods. A particularly powerful sound generator and the exceptionally bright row of flashing LED’s are built in by default. The Alarm Clock provides connectors for further alarm modules, for example a vibrating pad.
Bone Conduction uses temporal bone to transmit sound. Temporal bone directly sends sound to cochlea bypassing eardrums and middle ears. Cochlea sends sounds to brain through auditory nerve and person is able to hear.
