The Brand New Oticon ConnectLine Microphone that completes end to end connection between your Hearing Aids and your Conversation Partner

Oticon has always been on the move towards development and innovation of new and technologically advanced hearing aids to help its users with more added value and comfort. Oticon ConnectLine communication devices have made it easier and much simpler for users of hearing aids to listen to their Apple iPods and personal MP3 players, their TVs, and their Bluetooth mobile phones for a while now. But with yesterday's introduction of the Oticon ConnectLine personal microphone, one finally can hear their dinner companion as well, even in a noisy restaurant.

The new and the latest wireless Oticon ConnectLine Microphone clips to your conversation partner's lapel and picks up his or her voice while filtering out unwanted background sounds. It transmits the audio directly to the ConnectLine Streamer, which you wear on a loop around your neck, and the streamer transmits the unadulterated audio signals directly into your Oticon Agil hearing aids. It can also be adjusted to transmit at frequencies most compatible with the listener's hearing loss profile and hearing aids.

Ever since the big hearing aid makers began incorporating communication receivers directly into hearing aids, there's been a not-so-quiet revolution in people's ability to connect to more of the sounds of the modern world. But strangely enough, it's taken some time for the major manufacturers to come up with workable assistive-listening solutions for the most common complaint of hearing-aid wearerscomprehension of speech in noisy surroundings. The ConnectLine Microphone is one approach to the speech-in-noise problem that is small and easy enough to actually be useful in the real world. When you add to the Oticon ConnectLine solutions for your TV, phone and personal listening system, you end up with a complete, end-to-end listening and comprehension system.

Oticon has always come up with innovative ideas on hearing aids. Rigging your conversation partner with a microphone and transmitter is not a new idea. But earlier solutions required the conversation partner to wear a microphone hooked up to a sizable transmitter, and the hearing aid wearer had to hang a receiver around their neck with a neckloop that transmitted the audio to the hearing aid's telecoils. The whole thing used to be a bit tedious.

The small, lightweight ConnectLine Microphone gets the equation right on the transmission end by integrating the transmitter into the microphone and sending wireless signals to the ConnectLine Streamer. Then having the body worn Streamer transmit directly into the Oticon hearing aids (from up to 0.5 meters), rather than depending on a less-than-reliable neckloop plus telecoil combination, gets the equation right on the receiving end. It's not an all-purpose solution to the problem of understanding speech in noiseit would be impossible to dole out microphones to the shifting cast of characters in multiple cocktail-party conversation circles, for instance. And as a pricey add-on to a set of high-end hearing aids that can set you back as much as Rs. 1,40,000 /- (Approximately 3,000 USD) each, the ConnectLine peripherals don't come cheap, but they honestly do point to a future of better hearing connectivity and listening comprehension. Like Oticon, leading manufacturers including Starkey Laboratories, Phonak, ReSound, Siemens and Widex have introduced their own wireless connectivity components for their premium hearing aids.
