Portable Hearing Loop System

ListenTALK is a wireless radio system that makes it easy to include hearing impaired guests to your event. Whether its on a 1-2-1 basis or group tour of engineers discussing manufacturing equipment at a noisy factory, you can always ensure hearing aid users are included in the conversation.

Venue Hearing Loop System

You can also use ListenTALK to provide assistive listening for your theatre audience members who have hearing aids. This system provides a convenient way to deploy a hearing loop system in existing venue audience spaces - as there is no installation, unlike a conventional room loop that uses a wire [loop] installed around the audience area. ListenTALK uses DECT - encrypted, digital radio frequency transmission and operates independently of other RF (radio frequency) systems. It delivers reliable, interference-free audio. 

Using a ListenTALK LK-1 as the transmitter, just send an audio feed to this device from your sound system mixer, which transmits directly within the auditorium to pocket sized personal receivers worn by audience members. The personal neck loop connects to the LKR-12 receiver.
