Remote microphones stream sound directly into your hearing aids from a microphone some distance from where you are. Learn about several uses for remote microphones that can help improve your communication in otherwise difficult hearing situations.
Most hearing aid manufacturers have compatible Remote Microphones that can be paired to your hearing aids (or a love one’s hearing aids). This allows a microphone to be clipped to a shirt near the speaker’s mouth, or placed centrally on a table to send the conversation back to the hearing aid.
Great examples of remote microphone uses include:
Live Listen Feature for iPhone
If you have iPhone compatible hearing devices (Made For iPhone, or MFi), your iPhone has a built-in remote microphone feature called “Live Listen.”
When you pair your hearing aids to the iPhone (Settings > General > Accessibility > MFi Hearing Devices), scroll to the bottom and you will see “Live Listen” and its description.
Remote Microphone Through Bluetooth
If you don’t have an iPhone, or Made-For-iPhone hearing aids, you may still be able to use your mobile phone (iPhone or Android) as a remote microphone, using Bluetooth connectivity. Of course, to use this feature your hearing devices need to be equipped with Bluetooth.
Use Remote Microphone to Improve Your Communication
Remote microphones for hearing aids are available to improve communication between spouses, parents and children, at doctor’s appointments, in lecture halls, board rooms, religious services, etc.
Take advantage of the remote microphone – and other features of your hearing aid to improve your hearing and make your life easier.
