Practical hearing access advice and installation
Induction loops & Auracast™ hearing systems for accessible spaces
We advise on, design and install hearing enhancement systems for churches, theatres, schools, public services and historic buildings. Our induction loop installations are measured and commissioned to IEC 60118-4, with reports for the venue.

What we install
Two technologies, one mission: clear sound for every listener
Induction loops
The proven technology behind every “T” symbol. Permanent perimeter or array loops for halls, churches, courtrooms, classrooms and ticket offices, plus counter loops for receptions and service desks. Compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implant processors equipped with a telecoil (T setting).

Bluetooth LE Audio broadcasting complements induction loops, with audio received by compatible hearing aids, earbuds and personal receivers. Our portable Auri Mobile System offers another way to provide assisted listening without a fixed loop installation.

Engineering-led, evidence-based hearing accessibility
Surveyed, not guessed
Every enquiry starts with a discussion about who needs to hear what. For fixed installations, we assess the room, its sound system, metalwork, background magnetic noise and listening areas before recommending equipment.
Tested to IEC 60118-4
Every induction loop installation is field-strength tested and commissioned against the standard. You receive a signed performance report for your venue’s accessibility records.
Future-ready
We work with induction loops and Auracast. Where it suits the venue and its users, a hybrid system can provide access through both technologies.
The Auri Mobile System
Try Auracast in your venue
Bluetooth LE Audio is the most significant change to hearing accessibility in 40 years. Our portable Auri Mobile System lets you experience it on-site, broadcasting from your existing PA, microphone or AV system to demo receivers we bring with us.
- Quick deployment when a suitable audio source and power are available
- Broadcast to compatible hearing aids or demonstration receivers we provide
- Side-by-side A/B with your current loop or none-at-all
- Standalone or as a permanent Auracast install precursor
Hearing accessibility and your responsibilities
The Equality Act 2010 requires service providers to consider reasonable adjustments for disabled people, including people with hearing loss. A hearing enhancement system may be an important part of that provision, but the most appropriate solution depends on the space, the way speech is delivered and the people using it.
BS 8300-2:2018 provides guidance on inclusive building design. IEC 60118-4:2014, including its 2017 amendment, sets measurable performance requirements for induction loops. We can help you understand the options and provide documented loop commissioning where a loop is appropriate. Read our practical guide.
Coverage area
Based in Wrexham, working further afield when it makes sense
Our core installation area is North Wales, Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Shropshire. We also undertake suitable larger projects across Wales and the wider UK. Longer-distance visits can involve additional travel or accommodation costs, which we discuss before you commit. Our portable listening systems can be supplied or hired nationwide.
