What is the Conversor and What Does it do?
The Conversor is a FM personal assistive listening solution for use with your existing hearing aid. It requires no direct connection to the hearing aid.
Hearing aids compensate for the lowering of sound level by amplifying sound. However, most hearing aids are unable to replicate Aural Focus due to the way they pick up and amplify all of the sounds surrounding the wearer.
The Conversor addresses this problem by utilizing the best features of your hearing aid and eliminating the undesirable ones at the same time. This allows you to focus your hearing aid on desired sounds, near or at a distance.
Not Just Another Assistive Listening Device
There are two parts to The Conversor a portable wireless FM mircrophone/transmitter and a lightweight pendant receiver:
- The Microphone/Transmitter can be held in your hand or placed on a suitable surface near the source of sound. It transmits the sound to the Receiver up to 25 meters away.
- The Receiver sends the sound to the hearing aid. This 'pendant' is connected to an inductive loop that you wear around your neck. It can be worn either above or beneath clothing.
How does it work?
By switching your hearing aid to the Telecoil setting, its microphone is switched off and the Conversor microphone takes over. This superior microphone can be used in a variety of ways to improve your ability to hear nearby and distant sounds.
Unique Features
The Conversor is not an ordinary FM Microphone. Apart from its compact size it is a unique patented device set-apart from other listening aids with these unique features :
