In order to enhance the sound in our theatres through a digital hearing aid, an infra-red Sennheiser system is in operation in all three theatre spaces. Sennheiser necklace or headset receivers are required to use this system and are available from the Information Desk or programme sales point at the theatre. The hearing aid must already be pre-programmed by the supplier to work with the necklace receiver. If the digital hearing aid has been supplied by the NHS it will already have been pre-programmed. However, if it is from a private supplier, it will need to be checked with them to find out if it has been programmed to operate with an infra-red Sennheiser system and switching the hearing aid to the ‘T’ position.
The infra-red Sennheiser system works regardless of whether actors wear a microphone or not.
