Can Listen receivers interface to hearing aids?
Yes. This is accomplished by using Neckloop (LA-166) supplied by Listen or a direct audio interface (DAI). The LA-166 is a personal inductive loop is connected to a Listen receiver and then is placed around the neck. An inductive loop generates a magnetic field that is picked up by a hearing aid that is equipped with a “T” coil. All such hearing aids have a switch with positions marked O, T, and M or O, T, MT, and M. The MT, if your hearing aid has one, indicates that in this position, both the “T” coil and the microphone are active. You can also interface your Listen receiver with silhouettes, and an adjustable cochlear patch cord can be used to interface with cochlear implants. Call us for more information on the direct audio interface options.
