Audio input (FM system)
With an audio input you can connect your hearing
instruments to an FM system. An FM system consists
of a transmitter and a receiver. It gathers speech at the
voice source (via a separate microphone) and transmits
the sound directly to the hearing instruments.
The signal is clearer and unaffected by poor room
acoustics. This can be useful for adults in difficult
listening situations and for children in classrooms.
Most FM systems allow for coupling with audio devices
like an MP3 player.
Notes:
●
If you want to use an audio shoe, a special battery
compartment is required. Ask your NHS Provider to
exchange the battery compartment.
●
Ask your NHS Provider to configure your hearing
instruments, for example:
●
Adjust the mix of the audio input signal with
surrounding sounds.
●
Configure the hearing instruments so that they
switch automatically to the audio shoe program if
the audio shoe has been attached.
●
Use an approved audio shoe only. Ask your NHS
Provider for this accessory.
