It is available not only to individual users, schools and music and drama groups in the Yorkshire and Humber area but also to organisations and groups outside of the region on a pay per use basis.

    Bradford East MP, David Ward, is urging businesses, shops and services in Bradford and across the country to ensure they have fully operational hearing loops to substantially improve their accessibility for customers with hearing loss.

    The MP has lodged an Early Day Motion (EDM) in Parliament calling for better hearing loop provision following research by Action on Hearing Loss - formerly RNID - which found that eighty six per cent of surveyed businesses in the UK are at risk of being inaccessible because of problems with, or absence of, hearing loops. The main problems were that the loops were not switched on, in working order, or staff didn't know how to operate them.
