Wimborne and Ferndown Lions Club have given the Barrington Centre, Ferndown a donation to pay for a new hearing loop for the theatre main hall.
This new version of an induction loop, made by Ampertronics of Nottingham, enables people with hearing aids to hear clearly with no background noise. It works by creating a magnetic field direct from the sound source which can be picked up by the hearing aid coil.
Office manager Rosemary Handscomb said that the new loop is already in operation and is a big improvement on the old system.
