microphone which is worn in the bowl of the ear.
Particularly useful in noisy environments or on
the phone.
Direct C
onnect earhook
Used to link with bodyworn radio aid receivers
and various battery powered audio devices eg
iPod, CD player. You will also need to use two
cables: a Direct Connect cable (from earhook)
and an audio interface cable (to the device). For
photo, see below.
iConnect earhook
There are two types of iConnect
The one at the top is the newer small iConnect
(CI-5751-120/220/320) which takes any A10
hearing aid battery.
The bottom one is the older adult version. (CI
5751-100/200/300) This requires ZeniPower
batteries which are only available from Advanced
Bionics or from Connevans.
These ear hooks are for use with cable free ear
level radio aid receivers eg Phonak Microlink
MLxS, micro MLxS and MLxi (full dynamic). The
receiver is plugged directly into the earhook.
Telecoil
There is a built in telecoil and this can be assigned to a particular
program by the clinic. When using a loop system or hearing aid
compatible telephone, that program should be selected.
Accessories
These can be connected by using the Direct Connect earhook and the
Direct Connect cable. An audio interface cable is then used to
connect to battery powered devices such as CD players, iPods etc.
A program needs to be designated for use with an external source.
The Harmony Listening Check
The Harmony Listening Check is a diagnostic tool, designed to enable
parents, carers and professionals to perform a subjective listening
test of the sound processor and accessories. For more details see
the information available on Sounding Board.
