I went to a meeting this afternoon that was held in a room that is looped. I switched to my program with the T-coil. The host was holding the microphone down in front of her as she walked to the center of the room and she whispered, “Showtime.” I had to laugh because I was probably the only one in the room that heard her! As the panel passed the microphone around, I heard every rustle. It really was awesome! However, if I find myself in a similar situation again, I think I will remind the presenters exactly what looping does for those of us that are wearing hearing devices. We can hear! And maybe more than they want us to.
