When a simple hearing loop is in place, people with hearing loss can participate equally. Even songs are heard more clearly.

Thank you, History Colorado, for looping this cool history lecture series.

Another hearing loop in a senior center!

It's so important for people with hearing aids or CIs to switch to telecoil mode and then instantly hear better.

Thank you, The Thompson Senior Center !

Imagine striving to do your best in class, but missing some of the teacher's words, straining to understand, and feeling lost because you can't hear well.

Students at Colorado State University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute can tune into hearing loops to hear better. The loops allow students to participate equally and fully--and thrive.

In 2025, where would you most like to see one of these hearing loops?

We specialize in window intercom systems, also known as speech transfer or talk-through/thru systems. These systems transmit sound through security glass via microphones and speakers.

There are several different design options depending upon the layout, structure, and setup of the particular window.

Our systems work in windows with:

Trays at the bottom of the glass
Just a space between the glass and the countertop
Round holes in the center of the glass that are empty
Round holes in the glass with with a passive talk-thru fitting
Round holes in the center of the glass with existing system in place
Open counters with no glass
Ballistic glass
And any other layout you may have

Bonus: Our systems also can include components to aid with guests and customers who have hearing loss to make the window ADA accessible!

Interested in window intercom systems for your business? Call us today!
