Hard of hearing resources

The majority of Central Teaching Space Rooms are fitted with Hard of Hearing (HoH) systems using either IR transmitters or induction loop systems.

If you are using a room with an IR transmitter you will need to use a Sennheiser IR receiver (see pictures below). To make arrangements to collect the receiver or to find out which rooms have HoH systems please contact the FD helpdesk on 0113 3435555 or eshelp@leeds.ac.uk.

Please note - the battery will need to be replaced every few days depending on use. Arrangements will be made for replacing the battery on collection of the receiver.
