Personal fm & TV listening for hearing aid users
Wireless fm system versus wireless TV listener: Wireless fm systems do give hearing aid users a great improvement in
sound quality. Our 220 Lite fm system, whilst having a classic design look, is now amazingly good value for money. If you
are considering purchasing a wireless TV listener we really would suggest that you consider spending slightly more and
buy a personal fm system which can be used for listening to friends and family as well as to the TV.
Connevans offer a choice of assistive listening products to help with everyday life. Our range of personal fm
equipment is really effective and flexible, allowing hearing aids to work to the best of their potential.
All our personal fm systems are designed for people who find it difficult listening from a distance and in
noisy environments ‒ for more information about the problem with hearing aids, please see previous page.
These personal fm products can be easily set up/adjusted by the user, they are battery powered and fully portable for use
out and about as well as at home. Personal fm systems are ideal for domestic situations e.g. watching TV, family
gatherings, walking, in the car etc.
Personal fm and TV listening systems can be used with hearing aids either using the ‘T’ programme or direct audio input.
Although headphones/earphones are available they should not be considered as a substitute for hearing aids.
A feature comparison chart for our complete radio aid and personal fm range can be found on pages 12-13.
