This document, which is a Technical Report, gives recommendations for and guidance on the 
design, planning, installation, testing, operation and maintenance of a hearing-loop system 
(HLS) intended for communicating speech, music and/or other signals. It is mainly concerned 
with HLS for hearing enhancement, in which the signals are communicated to users of hearing 
aids equipped with magnetic pick-up coils. 
This document does not apply to induction-loop systems which use a carrier frequency, nor to 
other systems for hearing enhancement purposes which do not use magnetic induction.dition 1.0 2017-04 TECHNICAL REPORT colour inside Code of practice for hearing-loop systems (HLS) IEC TR 63079:2017-04(en) THIS PUBLICATION IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED Copyright ？ 2017 IEC, Geneva, Switzerland All rights reserved.
