In this post we explain what this sound system consists of and what its benefits are.

This functionality allows this magnetic field to be transformed into sound inside the user’s ear, who can hear it like this no reverberations or ambient noise. The result is a clean soundwith the adequate volume and perfectly intelligible.
The doctor Juan Royofrom the online hearing health community Living the Sound, points out that practically 100% of hearing aids and hearing implants have this technology, that is, they are provided with the aforementioned ‘T’ position. For Royo, the magnetic loop “It is one of the great current technological advances to help in the total integration of the hearing impaired in a society as noisy as ours”.
