Additional microphones for hearing aids
Wireless microphones are a great option for individuals with hearing loss who use hearing aids. These microphones allow the user to better hear conversations and other sounds by transmitting the audio directly to their hearing aids.
One type of wireless microphone is a neckloop, which is a small device that can be worn around the neck. It receives audio from a source, such as a TV or a person speaking, and sends the audio wirelessly to the hearing aid via a magnetic field. The neckloop can be used with both behind-the-ear and in-the-ear hearing aids that have a telecoil (T-coil) feature.
Another type of wireless microphone is a streamer, which is a small device that can be worn around the neck or placed on a table. It streams audio from a source, such as a phone or computer, to the hearing aid via Bluetooth. Some streamers also have additional features, such as the ability to adjust the volume or change the hearing aid settings remotely.
Wireless microphones are a convenient and effective way for individuals with hearing loss to improve their hearing in various situations. They can be especially useful in noisy environments, like restaurants or crowded events, where it can be difficult to hear conversations.
Overall, wireless microphones are a valuable tool for individuals with hearing loss to enhance their listening experience and communicate more effectively.
