Help for the Hearing Impaired at St. Mark's

There is now a loop system in St. Mark's Church so anyone with a modern hearing aid can receive a radio signal directly from the the audio system. This greatly improves the quality of the sound because it eliminates the background noise one gets when receiving the sound by way of the speakers. For best reception, one should sit within about ten feet (three meters) of the sidewall or the back of the sanctuary. One person, who attends faithfully, said it was the first time she had heard the whole service in three years.

If you have any questions, ask Andy Palmer. Some hearing aids have to be switched manually to RF mode.
