    Just wondering, as I posted before looking to get a TV for my parents, and my father has a hearing aid which works well with loop systems....

    Nicola on behalf of Ash:

    Hey zaphodbeeb,

    Ok I could be wrong but are the loop hearing aids ones which recieve an fm transmitted signal? If so do they have an additional accessory that can plug into an audio source to make it compatible with the hearing aid, or is it a case where the device (ie: The TV) would have to have this already built in.

    If its something that should be already built into the TV then none of our screens do it. Could you give me the make or modal of the hearing aid and maybe I can get you some more info on what your choices are. If you need to talk to me you can buzz me instore on (01)4740788.

    Also what kind of size TV are you after?

    Thanks a mil.

    Nicola. :)

    Zap,

    I guess you are talking about an induction loop system?

    If that's the case unfortunately we don't have anything at the moment which caters for this ( pity really as my own Dad needs something similar!)

    Keep me posted if yuo come across anything..

    Apologies we couldn't be more helpful,

    ATVB,
