The hearing loop has been installed and is functional in the Cathedral itself and in the Cathedral Social Hall. Hearing loop technology works in sync with hearing aids that have a T-coil. Hearing loops allow people who wear hearing aids to directly receive the sound from the PA system in their own hearing aids without having to pick up a separate listening device. If you wear hearing instruments you will need to find out if your hearing aids have the wireless receiver called a T-coil or Telecoil in order to hear better with the hearing loops in our facilities. The T-coil program is accessed by pushing a button on a hearing aid. This T-coil program has to be activated by your audiologist. Talk to your audiologist to find out if your instruments can have both a T (no background noise pick up) and an MT program (blended micro-phone and T-coil program). This project will be a significant help to those with hearing impairments enabling them to become more active participants in the Mass and other parish activities.
