Yes. The information center of the Great Amber Concert Hall (ground floor) and the Great Hall are equipped with a hearing loop that can be used by people with hearing loss. The function can be used via a hearing aid.

These events are marked in the calendar section of the Concert Hall’s website - look for the international symbol for the hearing loop.
Before buying your ticket, make sure your hearing aid has a functioning telecoil (‘T-coil’) setting. If this function is not available or does not work, you should contact the seller of the hearing aid.
Once you arrive at the concert, you can activate this function:
manually, directly on your hearing aid; or
on your smartphone via accessibility settings – look for the telecoil (‘T-coil’) function.
The concert is available for people with hearing loss, as the hearing loop function will be active during the event. Based on the experience of users of this system, the best listening experience with the hearing loop is in the seats in the center of the main auditorium area: rows 5 to 12, seats 6 to 28.
