Please would you tell me what are 'crystal hearing loops for non hearing aid users'? Do you mean 'soundfield systems' which are based on a loud speaker arrangement?

The use of each loop depends entirely on the needs of the learner requiring it and the size of the room.

Many of our hearing impaired students have their own individual systems / support. However, I am particularly interested in the use of portable systems for teaching rooms/ small lecture rooms which do not have a permanent system installed. Any advice / information would be welcome. Many thanks and have a good weekend.
