Conversor
Introducing The Conversor - the first affordable assistive listening device that offers users the versatility to enjoy the most out of everyday life. With unmatched comfort, ease of use, and wireless portability, The Conversor is the perfect hearing companion for anyone with a hearing difficulty. It is designed for easy use with Telecoil-equipped hearing aids, cochlear implants, and binaural headphones.
The Conversor focuses on desired sounds, near or far away, filtering out unwanted background noise up to 30dB, and greatly enhancing sound level and clarity. By removing background noise, the desired sound is much clearer and more intelligible, even in noisy environments. And by increasing the available sound level, less strain is placed on hearing aid amplifiers, eliminating distortion and feedback.
With The Conversor, users can now take a more active part in everyday listening situations, without the frustration of not hearing properly. It enables easy listening and relaxed conversation anywhere users happen to be - whether in the classroom or office, at social gatherings, driving in the car, out shopping, or at home.
