Background noise less than -47dBA, -32dBA Frequency range Hz Field variation +-3dB Level 0dB = 400mA/m (clarity and less noise) Specifies the Field strength

Loop Amplifier can NOT be IEC approved IEC Specifies ONLY the Field Strength Do NOT trust the stated coverage area for Loop Amplifier Trust the written certificate from the installer Compare the output current and/or power consumption for Loop Amp Measurement report - certificate Level = 400mA/m for speech (clarity, no noise)

Field Strength -12dB (16-times less power below standard) Noise -12dB (20 dB higher than the standard)

Field Strength 0dB=400mA/m Noise -12dB

Field Strength 0dB Noise -32dB

Do NOT trust stated coverage area! Certify according to IEC LEVEL = 400mA/m (0dB) Do NOT certify using a Hearing Aid.

Distortion Echo Reverberation Absorption Noise> human speech noise Frequency limitation Sound in air has problems:

2 sec reverberation time, large building- church Speaker 4m Babble noise (other speakers) Direct from a Hearing Aid (artificial ear)

Difficult to filter out reverberation Impossible to filter out speech from speech Solution: shorter microphone distance (wireless system)‏

IR – infrared No overspill Different frequencies – partly standardized Sensitive to direct sun light Radio and Infra Red (IR) High current consumption compared to HA ( mA) Not Compatibility with Hearing Aid (neck loop) Separat unit outside HA No world-wide standard (2.4GHz streamers, not standardized)

Built-in reciever in HA Zero Current consumption, T-coil World Wide Standard

Invisible Economical = No extra costly unit No additional knowledge No channel switching, level setting No changing battery/charging hassle Economical = No extra unit+Zero Current Long life = system is not tampered with Individual fitted hearing aid Compatible everywhere-World Wide
