* AAC refers to communication methods that supplement or replace speech, helping people who have difficulty expressing their thoughts and feelings through spoken language communicate more easily. AAC can include simple gestures, sign language, picture cards, electronic devices, and more. At the 2026 SPAF, we use the “My AAC” app developed by the NC Cultural Foundation.
Hearing Loop systems are installed in certain seats for the performances <Practice of Harmony> and <The Third War>.
If you set your hearing aid or cochlear implant to the T-coil (Telecoil) mode, you can enjoy the performance with clear and direct sound.
Before using the Hearing Loop, please make sure that the T-coil mode on your hearing aid or cochlear implant is activated.
Initial activation can be done at your hospital or device service center. Once activated, you can switch the mode on and off yourself using a personal remote control or mobile application.
(For inquiries about the Hearing Loop, please contact 010-3992-1605.)
