Brio Leisure, required an upgraded hearing assistance solution to improve accessibility within their venue and ensure all audience members could fully experience performances.
The existing hearing loop system had been defective, creating both a compliance issue and a significant accessibility barrier.
While the system was required by the local council, the more pressing concern was that customers with hearing loss were unable to fully engage with performances. Providing an inclusive experience for all audience members was a key priority, making it essential to resolve the issue effectively rather than applying a temporary fix.
A full upgrade was implemented using a Listen Technologies Auri system with neckloops.
This allowed the venue to move from a limited, zoned setup to complete auditorium coverage, ensuring consistent and reliable audio support throughout the space. The installation was carried out smoothly, with minimal disruption and a high level of professionalism.
The upgrade has delivered a significant improvement in both accessibility and user experience. Audience members can now hear clearly from anywhere within the main seating area, removing previous limitations and creating a far more inclusive environment.
The venue is now fully compliant with requirements, but more importantly, has confidence that every visitor can enjoy performances without barriers. The seamless installation process and reliable performance of the new system have made a lasting, positive impact on both staff and audiences.
