- Improve communication with hearing impaired patients

- Minimise uncontrolled information sharing
While hearing aids are effective in one-on-one conversations, patients often face challenges in busier or more open environments.
In areas like medical or dental reception desks and waiting rooms, background noise, protective screens, and distance from the staff can make it difficult for hearing aid users to clearly hear and understand what’s being said.
A selection of our most popular and recommended hearing loops for healthcare environments can be found below.
Ideal for: Reception desks or one-to-one conversations in clinic
The PL1/K1 Portable Induction Loop is ideal for person to person contact such as when talking at a desk, counter, or till point.
We have supplied many of these over the years and are one of our best sellers for this kind of application due to them being easy to use and quick to set up, with no installation required.
Restricted coverage
It is a self-contained desktop unit covering a restricted 1.2m2 area. This means the hearing aid wearer must be within this range of the unit.
Fully portable
The PL1/K1 is lightweight and can be easily moved from location to location. While predominantly they can be positioned at the reception counter, the hearing loop can also be used in meeting and clinical rooms for one-to-one conversations as and when required.
Useful features
With an automatic shut-off facility (user selectable for 10, 30 or 60 minutes) to help preserve battery life, the system can also be used as normal whilst charging. It clearly shows the “hearing loop” sign, allowing people with hearing difficulties to know that this service is present and available.
The PL1/K1 has an inbuilt microphone offering excellent sound quality. However, in acoustically challenged environments a tie clip or desktop microphone (not included) can be used with the system to further enhance speech clarity.

Ideal for: Patients with hearing loss attending meetings with multiple people present
The Roger On 3 System is recommended for personal use, although can be used in meeting rooms or areas where discussions are taking place with up to 10-12 people – more depending on how the meetings are conducted.
In a healthcare environment such as a hospital or clinic, it is often kept in a central location and booked out for meetings/consultations when required. You could also consider issuing one of these systems to a patient to navigate multiple clinic or hospital departments, with the microphone being handed to the clinician in each room or area that the patient needs to visit.
How does it work?
The Roger On wireless microphone transmits the sound via radio frequency from the wireless microphone to neckloops worn by those who are hard of hearing. In turn the neckloop receiver will connect to the users hearing aid using the T-setting, or a set of headphones. Only people wearing the neckloop will be able to access the hearing loop but an unlimited number of neckloops can be paired with the microphone.
4 main ways of use
The microphone can be hung around the neck by a lanyard (presenter mode), placed on a surface (table mode) for use during meetings, pointed at the person talking if discussions are taking place or can connect to a PA System, TV or laptop. It will also automatically switch modes depending on how it is being used.
Over 6 hours operating time
The Roger On Microphone has a battery life of over 6 hours when used with a Roger Neckloop Receiver. The receivers themselves having a battery life of over 10 hours.
