1. The space where the loop will be installed should be
checked to discover if a loop can be successfully installed. One of the
easiest way to do this is have a person with an active T-coil hearing
aid go around the space and see if excessive interference can be heard.
If there is no one available with a t-coil hearing aid, the space can be
checked using our PLRAMP in the Loop Receivers above.
2. Once establishing that the space is clear of excessive
interference measure the distance around the perimeter and the space
square feet or square meters.
3. With the two measurements choose the right size of
system. Obviously the larger the system the large the loop amplifier
needs to be. If there is a lot of metal near the loop (such as concrete
rebar, reinforcing bar or steel stud construction) a more powerful loop amplifier will
likely be needed.
