Here's loop advocate David Myer's story:
"I visited Scotland shortly after getting new hearing aids back in 1999. I was totally lost, and sound was reverberating around 800 year old walls. My wife saw a sign saying the site had a hearing loop, so I turned on my telecoil for the first time. It was emotionally powerful. Suddenly, I heard a clear human voice, instead of this verbal fog. I was on the verge of tears. I didn't know sound like this was possible." (Taken from The Washington Post's article "How Hearing Loops Can Help, April 10, 2012)
This is Richard Einhorn's story:
After losing much of his hearing at age 57, the composer despaired of ever really enjoying a concert or musical again. Then, while at the Kennedy Center in Washington, (where his "Voices of Light" oratoria had once been performed with the National Symphony Orchestra), he attended a performance of the musical "Wicked." There were no special headphones. This time, the words and music were transmitted to a wireless receiver in Mr. Einhorn's hearing aid using a technology that is just starting to make its way into public places in America: a hearing loop. "There I was at "Wicked" weeping uncontrollably - and I don't even like musicals," he said. "For the first time since I lost most of my hearing, live music was perfectly clear, perfectly clean and incredibly rich."
