Personal FM Systems
FM Systems are wireless assistive hearing devices that enhance the use of hearing aid(s) over distance and in noisy environments. They enable sound to be picked up close to a person speaking, or another sound source and is transmitted to the hearing aid wearer. This provides greater clarity of speech and a reduction in background noise. The system empowers the hearing aid user by offering enhanced speech and sounds in situations where hearing aids alone are not enough.
The system consists of receiver(s) sometimes attached to the hearing aids and a transmitter, which picks up the sound. It is a very portable and easy to use system.
