Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)

Foot’s Induction Phones

 Foot’s Induction Phones are unique inductive receivers for use with induction loop systems.

They were made in England around 1955 by the Magnetic Broadcasting Company Limited and is registered under British patent No. 674753.

Foot's Induction Phones are stethoscope-style headphones that employ no electronic elements. They simply pick up the magnetic field produced by any inductive loop using high permeability metal electro-magnets.

There is a volume control knob on the back of each earpiece.

After trying these earphones, I have come to the conclusion that they do not produce enough sound volume for anyone except a person with normal hearing, or possibly a very mild hearing loss.
