Overspilling Effect: Enhancing Accessibility for the Hearing Impaired in Shaw Theatres Balestier
In today's world, accessibility and inclusivity are paramount considerations across various domains, including public spaces, performances, and events. One crucial aspect of inclusivity involves ensuring that individuals with hearing impairments can fully participate and enjoy these experiences.
To address this need, induction loop systems have emerged as powerful tools, providing direct sound transmission to hearing aids and cochlear implants, bypassing background noise and delivering clear audio to the listener.
While induction loops have revolutionised accessibility, a particular challenge arises when these systems are installed in adjacent rooms or spaces. This challenge is known as the overspilling effect, where the magnetic field generated by an induction loop extends beyond its intended coverage area, potentially leading to audio leakage and compromised listening experiences. Understanding and mitigating the overspilling effect is vital to creating optimal audio environments for individuals with hearing impairments.
This study delves into the complexities of the overspilling effect in induction loop systems. We explore the factors influencing its occurrence, such as proximity, loop design, and loop amplification. Furthermore, we uncover strategies professionals employ to minimise the impact of overspilling, ensuring that individuals with hearing impairments can enjoy clear and private audio experiences in adjacent rooms or spaces.
By shedding light on the overspilling effect and sharing insights into its mitigation, we aim to foster greater awareness and understanding of this challenge. Join us on this journey as we navigate the intricacies of induction loop systems, and discover how professionals are working towards creating inclusive environments that prioritise accessibility for all individuals, regardless of their hearing abilities.
Renovating Shaw Theatres Balestier

Shaw Theatres Balestier opened its doors on 30th March 2023 after having undergone renovations for a design revamp since August 2019. It houses 11 theatre halls, making it the cinema with the most halls in a single location in Singapore. Six of the 11 halls are regular, while 4 Premium Lumiere Halls are located on the same level, and 1 Dreamers Hall is on one lower level.
Image from Shaw Theatres Balestier
Adjacent Cinema Halls on The Same Level
Halls 1 through 6 and Lumiere Halls 1 through 4 are located on the same level and are adjacent. Implementing the Induction Loop Systems in every hall poses a challenge due to Signal Interference or the Overspilling Effect.
Induction or hearing loops are vital in enhancing
Accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments. These systems utilise electromagnetic fields to transmit sound directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants, bypassing background noise and delivering clear audio to the listener.
While induction loops are commonly used in various public spaces, such as theatres, lecture halls, and places of worship, their effectiveness can be impacted by the overspilling effect when installed in adjacent rooms.
Understanding Overspilling
Overspilling occurs when the magnetic field generated by an induction loop system extends beyond its intended coverage area. This spillage can cause audio leakage from its intended location, potentially resulting in a breach of privacy or a degraded listening experience for individuals using hearing aids or cochlear implants equipped with telecoils (T-coils). In scenarios where multiple induction loops are installed in adjacent rooms or spaces, the overspilling effect can pose a significant challenge.
Factors Influencing the Overspilling Effect
Proximity: The distance between induction loop systems in neighbouring rooms affects the extent of magnetic field overlap. The closer the loops are, the greater the likelihood of overspilling.
Loop Design: The physical layout and design of the induction loops, including their shape, size, and orientation, can influence the reach of the magnetic field. Irregularly shaped rooms or areas with architectural barriers may worsen the overspilling effect.
Loop Amplification: The amplification level of the induction loop system impacts the strength of the magnetic field and, consequently, the overspilling effect. Higher amplification settings may lead to a more significant overspill.
Ways to Minimise the Overspilling Effect
While eliminating the overspilling effect may be challenging, there are several strategies that can help minimise its impact and maintain optimal accessibility.
Proper Loop Installation: Professional installation by specialists is crucial to ensure that induction loops are correctly positioned and calibrated. This includes considering the location and orientation of adjacent rooms to minimise overspill.
Loop Design Considerations: Architects and designers should collaborate with induction loop specialists during the planning phase of building projects to optimise loop design. This involves evaluating the physical characteristics of adjacent rooms and incorporating appropriate loop configurations to minimise overspill.
Loop Amplification Adjustment: Properly adjust the amplification level of the induction loop system to minimise overspill. Fine-tuning the amplification settings ensures the magnetic field is strong enough to provide sufficient coverage within the intended space without unnecessarily extending into adjacent areas.
As technology advances, new solutions for overcoming the overspilling effect are being developed. For example, some companies are developing induction loop systems that use directional microphones to direct the sound waves in a specific direction. This can help to reduce the amount of overspilling that occurs in adjacent rooms or spaces.
How We Overcame the Overspilling Effect Between Rooms
Loop Type Used: Low Spill Multiloop
To contain the signal from spilling not far from the loop boundary. Usually used to prevent the magnetic field generated by the loop from causing interference with the adjacent room.
To overcome the Overspilling Effect, we utilised a Low Spill Multiloop with a C7-2 Amplifier in tandem for every theatre hall to allow us to make precise minute adjustments to meet the IEC 60118-4 standards and to ensure that the overspilling effect between adjacent rooms is as low as possible.

Induction loops have significantly enhanced accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments, allowing them to enjoy public spaces, performances, and events with greater clarity and inclusivity. However, the overspilling effect on induction loops between adjacent rooms can challenge achieving optimal audio quality.
Conclusion
The overspilling effect in induction loop systems presents a significant challenge to achieving optimal audio quality and privacy in adjacent rooms or spaces. Factors such as proximity, loop design, and loop amplification influence the extent of the overspilling effect, requiring careful consideration during the installation and design phases.
However, strategic approaches and collaboration between professionals in the field can minimise the impact of overspilling and create inclusive environments for individuals with hearing impairments. Proper loop installation, design considerations, and fine-tuning loop amplification levels are crucial in reducing the overspilling effect and ensuring precise audio delivery to those relying on hearing aids or cochlear implants.
As technology advances, the accessibility landscape evolves, and solutions for overcoming the overspilling effect become more refined.

AWWA School is a specialized institution that educates children between the ages of 7 and 18 with multiple disabilities and autism. The school caters specialized education with multiple disabilities and autism to grow the potential for independence and improve the quality of life of students with special needs.
Located at 50 Bedok Reservoir Crescent, AWWA School at Bedok is a focal point serving children with autism. The school also delves into collaboration opportunities with their stakeholders to expose the students to the various platforms in the community, whereby they could develop, adapt and establish the skills they have acquired.
Flat Copper Tape to be implemented on top of Metal Flooring of AWWA Schoolâs MPH
Multi-Purpose Hall
One of the key features of the school is its Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH), which is designed to accommodate different activities and events. However, implementing a hearing enhancement solution in the MPH proved challenging due to the high metal loss associated with the metal flooring.
Before installation, it is essential to understand the type of flooring used to help us develop a solution for the construction needs. The type of flooring used in AWWA Schoolâs MPH is metal flooring.
Our biggest challenge was to overcome the high level of Metal Loss while implementing Flat Copper Tape to provide the electromagnetic field as part of the Hearing Enhancement Solution.
What is Metal Loss?
The presence of metals near a loop will result in the signals being âbouncedâ back, resulting in a cancellation of the loop signal to a certain degree, affecting the Hearing Aid user with the Telecoil function.
Common Metals found in installation sites would be:
Rebars or wire mesh in concrete floor/walls.
Metal reinforcement in walls or ceilings.
Overhead metal support structures.
Metal loss results in a loss of high frequencies which causes the sound quality to be muffled.
When metal objects are present near a loop, signals are bounced back, causing some cancellation of the loop signal. Rebars or wire mesh in concrete floors and walls, metal reinforcement in walls or ceilings, and overhead metal support structures are all common metals in installation sites. Metal loss causes a loss of high frequencies, resulting in muffled sound quality.
Metal Loss Test
Why is Metal Loss Test required before installation?
Crucial to carry out Metal Loss Test, especially when there is a significant metal content in the construction.
To ensure that customers do not have to over-invest in a costly loop driver when it is unnecessary.
To have a guaranteed preliminary result, the designed loop system with the necessary factors will perform within expectations. Flat Copper Tape will be implemented on top of the Metal Flooring of AWWA Schoolâs MPH.

Metal Loss Test carried out at AWWA Schoolâs MPH to analyze preliminary results before installation of Flat Copper Tape.
Type of Loop: Low Spill Multiloop
To contain the signal spill not far from the loop boundary. Usually used to prevent the magnetic field generated by the loop from causing interference with electrical equipment like electric guitars and dynamic microphones around the stage area.
Challenges faced: High Metal Loss
Metal flooring of the MPH will result in a muffled or dull audio quality for Hearing Aid users.
Solution
To overcome this, the installation team used two sets of C14-2Ns amplifiers, which is a higher capacity driver that allowed the driver to compensate for Metal Loss and achieve audio quality and clarity on par with or exceeding the IEC 60118-4 standards, also known as the International Performance standard for induction loop systems.
