HEARING AUGMENTATION COMPARISON
DefinitionHearing Augmentation can be any one of the following
Hearing Loop System
Receiver System - FM system
- Infrared System
These systems typically connect to the output of an existing PASound systemsound source
Alternatively wireless microphones TVs or music sources can be connected directly to the Hearing Augmentation System
PurposeHearing Augmentation is installed to allow the hearing impaired user to hear as if they were less than one metre from the sound source This is achieved by removing both background noise and reverberation
This results in the user receiving the clearest possible sound to their ears or via hearing aid(s) or cochlear implant processor(s)
Types Hearing Loop System
These are known by many names including audio induction loop system audio frequency induction loop system and hearing aid loop system among others Abbreviations include PAILS AFILS HAL and HIIL
The majority of hearing aids and cochlear implants receive this signal directly picked up by the internal telecoil
Receiver System - FM System
An FM System comprises of a base station transmitter and multiple receivers (one per user) with an attachment to suit the user

Receiver System - Infrared System (IR)
An IR System comprises of line of sight emitters mounted around the area and multiple receivers (one per user) with an attachment to suit the user
Receivers For both FM and IR systems every receiver must be provided with attachments to suit both types of user eg headset and neckloop
The attachments differ for those with and without hearing aids andor cochlear implants
- Requirements for users without hearing aids or cochlear implants
Ear pieces with audible sound These may be in the form of headphones headsets stethoclips earbuds (not recommended) etc
- Requirements for users with hearing aids andor cochlear implants fitted with the Telecoil (T-switch)
Neckloop to couple the magnetic signal to the telecoil in the usersrsquo hearing aids andor cochlear implants
Assistive Listening DeviceAssistive Listening Devices are often confused with Hearing Augmentation Systems
One common assistive listening device (ALD) is a personal FM system It is provided by some individuals for hisher own use only and generally does not connect to the venuersquos amplification system
Generally one persons ALD does not communicate with another persons ALD and are often incompatible with each other
On the other hand a Hearing Augmentation must be supplied by the venue provider for all deaf and hearing impaired users (DP9)
Note Connecting an Assistive Listening Device to a venuersquos amplification system does not make it Hearing Augmentation nor does it make it compliant with D37
Which one do I use Hearing Loop System ndash Preferred by hearing impaired users
FM System ndash Where Hearing Loop System cabling cannot be installed due to ceiling heights of more than 31m high flooring is inaccessible or other building construction-related problem
Infrared System ndash Where confidentiality is required for security reasons continue

Why is the Hearing Loop preferred by users Users donrsquot have to identify themselves as having a disability
Users donrsquot have to find out where to get receivers
Users donrsquot have to communicate with staff
There are no receiver batteries to fail
Receivers and attachments donrsquot fail
Why is the Hearing Loop preferred by Building Owners Doesnrsquot have to hand out receivers Doesnrsquot have to collect (or lose) receivers Less staff time occupied communicating with users Less staff time maintaining receivers No ongoing cost for maintenance of receivers No ongoing cost for batteries Not open to DDA complaint for lack of working receivers or attachments
What does the BCA requireThe Deemed to satisfy provision is found in D37 of the BCA and in part is as follows
One of the three systems - Hearing Loop System FM System or Infrared System or a combination
In Class 9B buildings - eg School Assembly Halls Courts Counters Cinemas Live Theatres
Hearing Loop System - Minimum of 80 coverage of floor area in the vertical field measured at
12m above FFL (finished floor level) sitting 17m above FFL standing
Receiver System - FM System or Infrared System - TransmitterEmitter to cover 95 of floor area
- Receivers ndash min of 2 approx 4 of seating as per D37 (b)(ii) and table D113 of BCA

Test and ReportAll three systems are referenced in AS 14285 - 2010 including test methodology and reporting
Performance (or Alternative) SolutionThe BCA allows for alternative solutions to those proposed in the Deemed-to-satisfy However there are no alternative systems that match the performance requirements other than the three systems above
ConclusionThe vast majority of users with hearing loss require Hearing Augmentation to reduce not just the background noise but the reverberation while providing independent volume control via the Hearing Augmentation receiver andor the userrsquos hearing aidcochlear implant processor
ReferencesBCA Disability (Access to Premises - Buildings) Standards 2010
DP9 The Performance Requirement of DP9 states
An inbuilt communication system for entry information entertainment or for the provision of a service must be suitable for occupants who are deaf or hearing impaired
D37 states the deemed to satisfy provision for DP9
D36 states the signage requirements
