MicroLink™
The world’s smallest and most sophisticated personal FM system, compatible with prescriptive hearing aids, programmed to match your personal amplification needs.
Phonak FM technology is the international standard in wireless solutions for hearing instruments. The launch of MicroLink in 1996 was a milestone in the history of hearing health care technology. During the last decade, Phonak has offered many new wireless products and services to meet the demands of different hearing impaired clients - children and adults.
By now, hundreds of thousands of persons with hearing loss are benefiting from wireless “links” to their teachers, colleagues or loved ones. Having been active for more than 10 years in the field of miniaturized FM systems, Phonak has accumulated an impressive amount of experience in this field, which remains largely unmatched in the hearing health care industry.
“The Right Fit For Life”
Start with evaluating the hearing device currently used. Most likely the hearing device you own is compatible with Phonak MicroLink FM receivers (must have T-coil or direct audio input).
If in doubt, check for compatibility here www.phonak.com/mlx.htm
Adding FM to the existing device is one possible solution. Another choice, and possibly one which offers a better return on your investment over time is to replace the hearing instrument with state of the art Phonak digital communication system with FM on board.
The elegant upgrade to a Phonak digital system provides unique additional functions as well as cosmetic appeal, ease of use and higher overall satisfaction.
