Hearing Loop Installed: PCUMC has installed a Hearing Loop in our sanctuary to assist those with hearing loss to hear more clearly during services. A Hearing Loop is an assistive listening system that transmits sound directly into one’s hearing aids or cochlear implants

rather than depending on sound coming from the loudspeakers. To receive the Loop signal, manually activate your T-coil or telephone setting on your hearing aid or cochlear implant. If you don’t know if you have a T-coil or whether yours is properly programmed, consult with your audiologist or hearing aid professional. If you don’t wear hearing aids, ask to use a Loop receiver to receive the sound. This can be obtained at the sound booth in the back of the sanctuary or from an usher. If you have further questions about Looping, please contact the installation company, Complete Hearing Solutions, at www.CompleteHearingSolutions.org or call 727-260-3488.
