A hearing loop system

Today's Saturday Challenge is: "Something that makes my life easier".

This peculiar looking piece of apparatus is, for me, essential for a much easier life. It is the docking station and the loop system I wear when watching TV or speaking on the telephone. Without wearing the round loop like a necklace I cannot hear the TV properly, even at a high volume. Subtitles aren't the answer because the lip synch is usually miles off. Wearing this apparatus, with my hearing aids turned to loop, allows me to hear the sound on TV directly into my ears even when the sound is muted. I can walk out into the garden for about 25 metres and still hear the TV. It is just magic. And when I speak on the phone with the loop system in place I can hear the other person really well. Without this my life would be very difficult.
