Enhancing Accessibility: The Cowichan Performing Arts Centre’s New Induction Hearing Loop
By Advanced Listening Systems
At the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre, we recently completed the installation of an induction hearing loop system, marking a significant step toward inclusivity and accessibility for all patrons. As an assistive hearing system installer, it’s always rewarding to see these projects come to fruition, knowing they will enhance the experience for those with trouble hearing.
The installation process involved meticulous planning and coordination with the venue’s management team. We conducted thorough assessments of the space to determine the optimal placement of loop wires and equipment. Our technicians worked diligently to ensure seamless integration with the existing audio infrastructure, minimizing disruption to ongoing activities at the centre.
Throughout the project, our focus remained on delivering a reliable and user-friendly solution. We utilized high-quality equipment and employed industry best practices to guarantee optimal performance. Once the system was installed, rigorous testing and calibration were conducted to ensure it met the required standards for clarity and coverage.
Overall, the successful implementation of the induction hearing loop system at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre underscores our commitment to creating inclusive environments where everyone can fully participate and enjoy live performances. We look forward to continuing to partner with venues to bring the benefits of assistive technology to more communities in the future.
“Increasing the accessibility of our theatre has been an ongoing goal at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre for the last several years with multiple improvement projects,” says CVRD Arts & Culture Manager, Patrick LeBlanc. “Installing the hearing loop system is a big step towards making sure all our guests feel comfortable and improves the experience of enjoying live entertainment.”
