Connectivity
Remote mics
A remote microphone is an extra accessory which allows you to hear a direct signal. This is often a person’s voice, or a table of people. A remote microphone is an excellent solution for hearing in noise as it improves the signal to noise ratio.
Most manufacturers offer a remote microphone solution and we will help you find the best solution to meet your needs.
Connecting to your television
Hearing aids can connect to televisions via an adapter. This allows the television sound to be sent directly through the hearing aids, which allows a clearer sound.
