The HLAA Chicago North Shore Chapter has engaged in advocacy to “Loop” churches, synagogues, libraries, and public buildings in the north and northwest suburbs. “Looping” involves the transmission of sound from a microphone through an electromagnetic installation around the perimeter of a room that will allow an individual with a hearing aid that has a telecoil (T-coil) to hear the sound directly in his or her hearing aid and/or Cochlear Implant (CI).
