US EditionB.C. college among Canada's first to install groundbreaking assistive listening tech
THOMPSON-NICOLA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 11 – North Island College's Stan Hagen Theatre is among Canada's first to install Bluetooth LE Auracast and induction hearing loop technology to enhance accessibility for hearing aid users.
- North Island College’s Stan Hagen Theatre installed new assistive listening technology in June to improve accessibility for people with hearing loss.
- Advanced Listening, a B.C. company, led the installation, including an induction hearing loop and Bluetooth LE Auracast system used in various public venues.
- The induction hearing loop broadcasts audio signals through floor-installed analog wire antennas, which hearing aids with Telecoil receivers can pick up.
- Derrick Doll from Advanced Listening tested the sound quality wearing a receiver headset during the three-day installation team’s work in June.
- This installation reflects NIC’s broader accessibility efforts, including a new WCAG 2.1–compliant website and leadership by its Accessibility Advisory Committee.
