Expanding Hearing Aid Usability through As can be seen from the tabs on the right side of this page we are offering not only information on the types of FM and BlueTooth devices available and how they can be used but also background information as to why this equipment expands out the boundaries of today's digital hearing aids into areas that hearing aids have not functioned well in the past. Today's technology blended into a concise hearing system does meet the communication needs of today's active people who have mild to profound hearing losses. Important Note: While the Phonak CORE Technology products offer the tightest integration between FM and the hearing aids almost all hearing aids sold today can benefit from the addition of FM technology being coupled with them. Please contact us to see if FM can be added to your current brand and make of hearing aids. This could be a very cost effective way of expanding and improving your listening enjoyment. FM Technology FM allows people to overcome range and noise issues associated with active peoples lifestyles and listening environments. With this technology a microphone or sound collector and an radio transmitter is worn by one party or placed next to or tied directly into the sound source the person with a hearing loss is attempting to listen to and a radio receiver (can vary in size from modest to very small) is worn by the person with a hearing loss and ideally tied directly into the person's hearing aids either by a direct connection or through magnetic induction and sometimes by acoustical coupling via headphones. Most personal (portable) FM systems have a transmission range of between 30 to 90 feet distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Commercial systems can have a range of between 150 feet to 500 feet.
BlueTooth Technology The most common use for BlueTooth technology is with hands-free BlueTooth headsets used with cellular phones. New products and protocols are now expanding BlueTooth devices beyond the cellular domain into use with iPods, Televisions, Stereos and BlueTooth equipped computers along with Voice commands from GPS devices just to name a few. BlueTooth generally also allows us to use both ears, and for the first time (with the 2.0 protocols which includes a headphone protocol) to listen to true stereo through our hearing aids via BlueTooth. With other technology we have always been stuck listening in a monaural mode when the rest of the world hears in stereo. We are now up the twenty-first century. In addition with the new protocols we now have a cleaner and easier method of coupling people into business telephones systems (PBX's, DPBX's and EKS's) that has not been available before with the advent of new BlueTooth Hubs. This is defiantly an exciting time technology-wise to be looking at upgrading to or getting a complete new hearing system. |
