Hearing loop installed
The Weyauwega Public Library now has a hearing loop installed at its service desk and in its large conference room.
A hearing loop is a wire that circles a meeting room or a service desk and is connected to a sound system.
The loop transmits sound electromagnetically to a wireless receiver called a T-coil in the user's hearing aid or cochlear implant.
Within the loop, the microphone from the sound system becomes the microphone to the hearing instrument.
No additional equipment is needed.
Hearing loops help people overcome the listening challenges of distance from the speaker and background noise.
People should direct questions about their hearing aids and T-coils to their audiologist or hearing provider.

The project is supported in part by Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds, awarded to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The library's recent book sale was its most successful one ever.
Library staff appreciate those who donated items, patronized the sale or worked at it.
An adult reading program is coming soon to the library.
The next free blood pressure and blood sugar screenings will take place at 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, in the library's lower level.
The blood sugar screening is a non-fasting one.
For more information, visit the library or its website www.wegalibrary.org or call the library at 920-867-3742. The library is also on Facebook.
