The Disability Discrimination Act aims to stop discrimination against disabled people, including deaf people, in the workplace, in education and when accessing goods and services. Service providers include theatres, cinemas, places of worship, conference halls, banks, supermarkets, airports, shopping centres and bus and train stations.

An Induction Loop is a cable that circles the listening area. Selected sound sources are connected in to this loop and these sounds can be clearly received by people using a hearing aid with a ‘T-Switch’ which is plugged into the loop.
{The "loop" itself is a single insulated thin wire which runs (usually) at floor level, all around the perimeter of the area to be served. It is powered by a driver amplifier which is fed with sound from a microphone and/or any existing sound amplification system.}
Many public buildings are fitted with induction loops and they can also be fitted for home use.
Portable versions of the device are also available that are useful for one to one or small group meetings, e.g. at an information desk.
