Induction loop & Auracast installation in Monmouthshire
Hearing System UK is a Wrexham-based specialist installer of hearing enhancement systems, covering councils, theatres, churches, schools, transport hubs and historic venues right across Monmouthshire. We design, install and certify to BS 8300 and IEC 60118-4.
Hearing access in Monmouthshire
A south-east Welsh county defined by historic market towns, Monmouth, Abergavenny, Chepstow and Caldicot, and a strong heritage estate including some of the most-visited castles in Wales. Every public-facing venue in Monmouthshire, from a parish church to the largest civic auditorium, carries a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make "reasonable adjustments" for people with hearing loss. For most spaces with amplified speech, that means a working, signed and field-strength-tested hearing enhancement system.
We're set up to serve every category of venue across the county: council buildings and customer-service estates, the heritage and visitor sector, churches and chapels, schools and colleges, and private operators. Whether you're specifying a counter loop for a single reception desk, retrofitting a large theatre or building a hybrid loop+Auracast system into a major refurbishment, we'll survey it, design it, install it and commission it to documented standard.

Why Monmouthshire is moving to hybrid loop + Auracast
Bluetooth LE Audio, and its Auracast broadcast feature, is the biggest change to hearing accessibility in 40 years. The first Auracast hearing aids reached the UK in 2024. By 2030, almost every new hearing aid sold will support it. That puts Monmouthshire venues commissioning systems today in a particular position: a loop-only install will reach the millions of T-coil hearing-aid users in the population now, but won't serve a buyer with a 2027 hearing aid five years from now.
Our standard recommendation for any new build or major refurbishment in Monmouthshire is a hybrid: induction loop for the established T-coil base, Auracast for the rapidly-expanding next-generation receiver base. We can design, install and commission both in a single visit, with one signed-off documentation package.
