The PL1/K1 Self Service Bundle has a portable and light weight design which means it can move easily from place to place.  It includes a PL1/K1 Portable Hearing Loop and an RXTI2 Loop Listener, to enable those who are non hard of hearing to test and assess the loop periodically.

The PL1/K1 is quick to set up in seconds and easy to use with its simple one button operation, making it a preferred hearing loop choice for many applications.

With a loop listening field of 1.2m, it is ideal for restricted person to person contact, while its limited horizontal throw of loop field helps maintain privacy when needed.

It is a desktop unit that clearly shows the “hearing loop” sign, allowing people with hearing difficulties to know that this service is present and available without the need to ask.

Where can I use it?

The PL1/K1 is ideal for use in areas such as:

• Receptions desks
• Schools
• GP Surgeries
• Shops
• Banks
• Ticket Booths
• Post Offices
• Small Meeting Rooms (one-to-one meetings)
• Polling Stations

How does it work?

The PL1/K1 works firstly by picking up the sound using the inbuilt microphone, amplifying the sound, and then transmitting this using an electromagnetic signal to the users hearing aids.  The hearing aid then converts this signal back into a sound suited to its users specific hearing requirements.  This then enables the user to participate more fully in general conversation, ordering goods or services, etc.  A hearing loop is accessible to any hearing aid with the T-Setting or “MT” switch available.

It is good practice to ensure that your hearing loop is functioning as it should at all times.  You can’t always rely on your customers or colleagues with hearing aids to tell you when this is not the case.  The RXTI2 Loop listener allows the non-hard of hearing to test the system is working as it should.  When you plug a set of headphones into the loop listener (not supplied), you can hear exactly what someone with hearing aids would hear.  This allows you to trouble shoot any problems before they become an issue for someone who needs access to the hearing loop.
