Hi Dana, I use an LCD monitor so I know that's not a problem. I just walked in and around my office with my tcoils on and there's not much EMI. My office is a...

One point about the background magnetic noise. If there is a high level of background magnetic noise then Infra-red or FM systems using a neck loop are NO...
Actually, it can matter a little whether you use a room loop, neckloop, silhouette or HAC phone/headphones to provide the desired magnetic signal. And many...
Steve explains this well, and I agree with him. We're both long time members of other email lists like Beyond-Hearing (on Yahoo), where we've talked about...
