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
