A t-switch is a switch or button on a hearing aid that activates the t-coil. A t-coil is tiny device in most hearing aids that uses magnetic induction to wirelessly stream sound from the TV, movies theaters, telephones, etc. and loop systems.

Here is a website that will help explain what the t-coil and induction loop are all about. <www.hearingloop.org>

The theaters in The Villages are equipped with two types of receivers for the hearing impaired as well as closed caption devices.
