The Listening Lab is proud to have implemented Induction Loop Systems for CIS – Lakeside Campus in accordance, if not, more than BCA’s guidelines on BCA’s Code of Accessibility, catering to the needs of students and staff who are wearing Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants. The venues that have Induction Loops installed are at the Level 4 Gymnasium, Level 4 Theatrette, L1 Reception Counter. Apart from Induction Loops Systems, FM Systems supplied by The Listening Lab can also be requested from the school if there is a requirement for it.
Individuals with Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants would be able to benefit from the Induction Loop Systems when they switch to their ‘Telecoil’ setting. For those who experience some challenges due to their telecoil setting not being configured or properly set-up, please advise them to consult their respective audiologist for assistance.
