3.1 What is a Streamer
The Streamer is a body-worn device that can connect your hearing
instruments wirelessly to many diff erent sound and communication media
and thus, enables your instruments to function as wireless headphones.
If you have two hearing instruments, the sound will be directed to both
ears.
Through the Streamer, your hearing instruments can connect to a number
of audio sources and allows you to
• use a mobile phone fully hands-free.
• listen to music and audio from the radio, computer, portable music
players (like mp3’s)
You can also use the Streamer as a remote control of the volume in the
hearing instruments.
3.2 How to wear it
To make sure that you receive the best
signal through the Streamer, it must be kept
inside the Body Area Network. This is the
area surrounding the hearing instruments
within a range of approx. 0,5 meter. The
wireless function enabling the Streamer and
hearing instruments to communicate, called
EarStream, operates at extremely low power
levels.
The Streamer can be worn and carried in
various ways to satisfy your personal taste,
clothing and life style.
