Induction Loops
In a noisy environment we all find it difficult at times to hear and understand what is said, but, for a person wearing a hearing aid, it can be almost impossible. This is why increased emphasis is being placed on assisting hearing aid users, through installing induction loops in many commercial and public places. The 1995 Disabilities Act introduced legislation requiring the provision of such assistance.
Ashdene have extensive experience of providing induction loop solutions in environments as varied as places of worship, courtrooms and airports.
Counter Loops
In Retail and commercial environments, where the use of counters is widespread, we provide a number of high quality and reliability counter loop solutions, including the provision of portable loop systems.
Infra-Red
One drawback associated with the use of Induction loops is the potential compromise of security. By their very nature, induction loops broadcast a general signal and this signal can often be picked up outside its' area of intended reception. The solution is the use of infra-red systems. The requirement for line of sight between listener and emitter array makes infra-red the ideal assisted hearing solution where security or sensitivity is important.
Conference Systems
Ashdene supply individually designed conference system solutions. These solutions can include voting systems, translation, sound reinforcement and digital evidence recording. The range of systems available encompasses both digital and analogue solutions.
