    What about office phone systems?

    Office phones usually do not have Bluetooth connectivity, but there are some accessories available that can convert the headset to work with Bluetooth systems like the AudioLink or Roger Pen. Check out this link for more information.

  • Digital wireless system microphones help deliver speech understanding in noise and over distance. The transmitters can be placed on a table to pick up conversations around you. They can be worn around the neck or near a speaker's voice so that you can hear clearly from across a room. You can also hold the transmitter and point to the direction of sound you wish to hear. The different transmitters (MED-EL AudioLink, ROGER Select, Pen, Touchscreen, Inspiro) offer different advantages, so be sure to do some research on them.

  • Wireless transmitters can be used to stream audio wirelessly to your processors.

    Some transmitters use a small accessory cable that enables audio/music to stream from your phone, tablet, and computer. Other transmitters use Bluetooth signal to wirelessly send the audio stream directly to the receivers. 

  • There are a variety of ways a digital wireless system can be used to hear the television (or laptop, DVD player, etc.) with more clarity.

    Most systems have an audio input port that connects to your TV or Laptop. Sound is streamed via the connected transmitter and then onto your receiver in the processor.

    Some systems provide a "dock" where you connect to your TV (or laptop, etc) that streams directly to your processor.
