Logistical Support
The several manufacturers of induction loop systems included
two which contacted us, Oval Window Audio, an American-manufactured
product whose MicroLoop unit serves me wonderfully well in
my home TV room (through wires that encircle the room in the
ceiling of the basement below), and Ampetronic, a UK firm
that is represented in the United States by Assistive Audio.
Ampetronic’s managing director, Leon Pieters, and Fred
Palm, the owner of Assistive Audio, offered to come to Holland
for an informational presentation at our community launch
meeting, and to train our area’s largest audio services
company (Premovation) to serve as its local authorized installer.
Without restricting institutions to these companies—our
intent was to promote loop systems for the hard of hearing,
not any particular businesses--we informed people that Premovation
was prepared to evaluate and price their site and to install
the equipment should they wish.
Nonprofit institutions would have part of their installation
billed by Premovation to our Community Foundation (subject
to certain limitations of time and venue—we weren’t
prepared to cover every school classroom or church meeting
room, for example). Businesses could know that the grant program’s
success insured that more and more local people would, in
the years to come, become equipped to use their installed
loop systems in meeting rooms, counter windows, and drive-through
order and banking stations.
In this way, we aimed to provide easy answers to the two
most frequently asked questions: How can we get this? Where
can we call?
How much will it cost us?
