The HearIT Mobile Bluetooth accessory
MTN has the launched the HearIt Mobile Bluetooth Accessory for customers who are hearing aid users. The HearIt Mobile makes it possible to receive sound from the mobile phone directly in the hearing aid as the sound from the mobile is transmitted to the HearIt mobile via Bluetooth. The HearIt mobile transmits the sound to the telecoil in the hearing aid via a neck loop.
This provides the user with a convenient, wireless solution that is free from the interference and feedback often experienced due the interaction between the microphones in the hearing aid and the mobile phone.
Please note: in order to use HearIt Mobile with hearing aids in T-position (telecoil), the hearing aid must be equipped with a telecoil fitted by the hearing care professional.
Hi I have read this news with some first hand interest, as I am presently trial using the Hearit Bluetooth kit. I have found that the connection to my mobile is reasonbly good, but I need to turn up the volume to virtually maximum. Nevertheless, when I set the telecoil on both ears, it certainly makes for greatly improved hearing. Problem is the units Hearit All and Mobile are unaffordable for a pensioner. We need to find some source that can subsidise this cost directly, rather than trying to get SARS to allow a tax deduciton from a pension which in any case pays little or no tax!! Any comment?? PS kindly indicate who posted this item on Hear2day site?? Thanks Fred Benning Exco Hear2day
Hi I am also wearing hearing aids. I would like to know where can I find out more about the loop system and what is the cost?
