Five ways to be a cool CI kid
15th November 2016
When the lazy hazy days of summer are drawing to a close, and you find yourself starting to think about getting back to work, school or university, it’s a good opportunity to think about how True Wireless™ Devices can make your daily life easier. True Wireless Devices of Cochlear are designed to meet the specific needs of our recipients of all ages and they’re all compatible with Nucleus® 6 and new Kanso® to offer clear, reliable and secure transmission directly to your sound processor.
At work…
The small, slim and discreet Mini Microphone 2+ can help make sure you hear conversation clearly, whether it’s a one-to-one or group discussion. When the microphone is worn by the speaker, you will hear his voice more clearly and distinctly, with less distraction from background noise. For signal-to-noise ratio, the new Mini Microphone 2+ is significantly better even than the first generation Mini Microphone.
In a group discussion, the Mini Microphone 2+ can be placed horizontally on a table to help you hear more clearly and concentrate more easily on the conversation. It’s also optimised for room loop systems where available and, with its battery life of 11 hours in microphone mode, your Mini Microphone might just manage a longer working day than you!
For telephone or VOIP conversations, consider the Phone Clip. It has a built-in Telecoil and is Bluetooth ready, so you can connect to your computer, mobile phone or any Bluetooth enabled device.
At school…
For school and university students, the Mini Microphone 2+ is an easier, more cost-effective and more technologically advanced solution than more traditional FM systems. Of course many schools offer an FM system, so the Mini Microphone is fully FM compatible without any intermediary component. However, it also has the advantage of being portable, so students can use the Mini Microphone wherever they are and not just when they are at school or college.
A single Mini Microphone can be paired simultaneously with multiple sound processors, making it ideal for teachers when there are several hearing implant recipients in the room. And the Mini Microphone 2+, laid horizontally on a table can enhance understanding in group study discussions.
Older children and young adults particularly appreciate the Mini Microphone’s built-in Telecoil and line-in option, which allows them to enjoy using a mobile phone or computer to listen to music while they study. Parents and teachers of younger children have the reassurance of additional features such as the volume lock, mute function, drop detection mute and battery status indicator.
… and at the end of the day
True Wireless Devices may help with your work or study. But don’t forget to take them home with you where they’ll keep on working to help you relax and enjoy time with friends and family until it’s time for you both to recharge.
