    Does anyone have any experience of installing a hearing loop in a ringing chamber?
    In Leckhampton we ring in the body of the church - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3ekC5hO6c8 for a view of it. The church has a hearing loop, but it sadly doesn't extend into the ringing area. We have a ringer with hearing aids, he is unable to hear commands and advice while ringing. We are considering adding a loop just for the ringing area, and having clip-on microphones for the conductor etc. Wondered if any other tower had experimented with this.

    I suggest that you contact SARABEC of Middlesbrough. They specialise in hearing loops and supply simple self-install kits for around £100. I have had an LA240 Loop system in my living room for over a decade.

    Sarabec used to have an infra-red based system that requires the hearing aid user to wear an infra-red receiver. This eliminates any cross-interference with your existing church induction loop. The receiver is worn on a lanyard and must be in line of sight with the transmitter. Perhaps their latest Blue-Tooth system serves the same purpose.

    Sarabec have always been most helpful and, as you have an existing system, it may be worth talking to them. https://www.sarabec.com/
