Please see your warranty and care card for advice on how to derive a lasting and pleasurable
use from your iEar.
Care
Listen to a sound source near or far away
by either placing or pointing the transmitter. Our
wireless technology will allow you to go as far as 25 metres away with your earpieces still delivering
the sound to your ears without compromising on quality, whether or not there is visual contact.
Select what you want to hear
from the surround sound or directional microphones on your
transmitter or direct audio input from other devices for high fidelity listening.
Minimise ambient noise
by amplifying the sound at source using the OFF/Normal/ High sound
level switch on the transmitter.
Users with T switch enabled hearing aids:
With the earpieces set in T mode, the iEar acts
as a hearing aid add on. It creates your own personal portable induction loop to deliver clear sound
devoid of feedback to your ears via your hearing aid.
Your hearing aid will also have to be in T mode.
This setting can be used in any of the following
situations as long as you have a T switch enabled hearing aid.
Using your iEar system
E.g: At the restaurant or the pub with a small group of friends, or travelling with friends.
E.g: In class, at the restaurant or Café with someone special, at a conference or large meeting, at a party
or gathering.
We recommend giving the transmitter to the speaker to wear using the clip or lanyard, and setting the
microphone to Surround Sound (
) and
High
sound level mode. You could alternatively place the
transmitter on the table and direct it towards the speaker in directional (
) and
High
sound level
mode.

A Noisy place with One Appealing sound source
E.g: Listening to your personal audio player, the television, your mobile.
Should you want to immerse yourself into a film or melody, you can plug in a 3 mm standard
audio cable from your audio or audiovisual equipment into the iEar transmitter direct audio input.
This will convey sound at high fidelity to your ears.
