Wireless Communication
Studies1,2 show that cochlear implant recipients may benefit from wireless communication technology in a wide range of difficult listening situations.
A ‘transmitter’ is used to pick up and transmit a speaker’s voice directly to the FM receiver. For example, a teacher will speak into the transmitter, and children in the class with an FM receiver will ‘pick up’ the teachers voice. It works on the same principle as FM radios, which ‘pick up’ the signal sent from a remote radio transmitter.
Other audio devices such as an iPOD® or WALKMAN® can also be plugged into the transmitter, giving you direct access to the sound without the need to connect wires to your processor!
