Telecoil hearing loop & receivers

Establish a personal t-coil loop
Instead of using Bluetooth, you can try using a personal hearing loop plugged in to your laptop. There is no latency. You don’t pair it – just turn on your telecoil. You don’t get “dropped”. And no battery drain.

Review : Philips HearLink 2040 with Bellman & Symfon Neck Loop
Discovered the library at the university where I work that they have neck loops that can be checked out. Plugged the Bellman & Symfon High Powered Neck Loop into both my iPad and my MacBook Air.

Oticon Streamer fading occasionally. And hearing aid loop hiss
I bought a secondhand (but supposedly unused) Streamer. V1.2, I think. With both streaming music and with hearing loop at the movies, it occasionally fades on one side for a moment, then returns to normal. Is that unusual? Is it a fault, or is it perhaps responding to something to let me hear it?...

How well do "Auto T-coil" hearing aids work in looped facilities
I live in an “over 55” community and we have been working hard to get all meeting rooms looped. I just received information from a “loop technician” that “Auto T-coils” only work for telephone, not for loops. Since most recent aids only come with “auto T-coils” I am hoping this is not true.
