Product Description:

Hearing aid wearers often have difficulty understanding speech in the presence of background noise and reverberation (J Acous Soc Am 2008;124[5]:3064-3075; J Acoust Soc Am 1978;63[2]:533-549). They also may run into trouble when the signal of interest originates from across a large room. Remote microphone hearing assistive technology (HAT), more commonly referred to as a personal frequency modulation (FM) system, generally is the most effective method to improve performance in such challenging listening situations (J Speech Hear Disord 1984;49[4]:409-418; J Speech Hear Disord 1984;49[3]:278-286; Am J Audiol 2010;19[1]:36-45). These systems capture the signal of interest near its source, leading to a much more favorable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared with that at the microphone of the hearing aid.
