Help and advice
A neckloop is a plastic covered wire that you wear around your neck and connect to compatible devices with audible output such as some mobile phones. The wire produces an inductive output which your hearing aid/s will pick up when set to 'T'. Some neckloops can now connect to a mobile phone without a connecting wire via bluetooth technology. These bluetooth neckloops are more expensive but can be easier to use as you have fewer wires (check that your mobile has bluetooth technology before purchase).1,2
Ear loops / hooks works like a neck loop but are designed to hook behind your hearing aid/s.
