Infra Red

🔹 Benefits of Installing an Infrared Hearing Assistance System

1. Improved Accessibility
   
   

   • Provides clear, direct sound to people with hearing difficulties, ensuring compliance with accessibility regulations such as the Equality Act in the UK or the ADA in the US.
     
     

   • Helps venues be inclusive for all visitors.
     
     

2. High Sound Quality
   
   

   • Reduces background noise and echo, delivering speech and music more clearly than conventional amplification.
     
     

   • Particularly effective in places where acoustics are challenging, such as auditoriums or conference rooms.
     
     

3. Secure Transmission
   
   

   • Infrared signals cannot pass through walls, making the system secure and private.
     
     

   • Ideal for environments like courtrooms, council chambers, and confidential meetings.
     
     

4. Interference-Free Listening
   
   

   • Unlike radio-frequency (RF) systems, IR is not affected by interference from nearby wireless devices, Wi-Fi, or mobile phones.
     
     

   • Provides consistent performance in busy environments.
     
     

5. Flexible Listening Options
   
   

   • Users can listen through lightweight receivers with headphones, earphones, or neckloops (for hearing aid users with a T-coil).
     
     

   • Allows both hearing aid users and non-hearing aid users to benefit.
     
     

6. Scalable and Multi-Zone Capabilities
   
   

   • Can cover small rooms or large venues by adding additional IR radiators.
     
     

   • Supports multiple audio channels, useful for translation or simultaneous program feeds.
     
     

7. Compliance and Reputation
   
   

   • Demonstrates commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
     
     

   • Helps organisations meet legal obligations while improving customer satisfaction.
     
     

8. Hygiene and Convenience
   
   

   • Receivers are easy to clean and manage.
     
     

   • Many venues provide them on request at reception points.
     
     

✅ Ideal Applications: Theatres, cinemas, lecture halls, places of worship, courtrooms, boardrooms, and any setting where speech clarity and confidentiality are important.
