To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.8.3.7.(1), which would otherwise require the assistive listening system to be installed throughout the entire seating area, and permit an induction loop system to be installed in only half the seating area, on the basis that persons with a hearing disability can be located within the induction loop system.
