The Duluth Entertainment Convention Center has installed an Audio Induction Loop System in Symphony Hall. The system - a loop of cable around a designated area - generates a magnetic field picked up by a small device in a hearing aid and in certain implants.
The system allows anyone sitting in the designated area with a compatible device to receive a clearer sound. People can check with their provider to see if they have the necessary T-coil in a hearing aid device. The magnetic signal also can be picked up by a portable receiver and headset for those that do not have the “T” switch.
The DECC also provides guests with Assistive Listening Devices for all remaining rows in Symphony Hall. The devices are used to improve the hearing ability for people in a variety of situations. These are free to use and may require a driver’s license or credit card to check out the equipment.
