In this blog, we explain step by step what the EduMic is, how it works, and in what situations you can benefit from it. So you can discover whether this smart tool will also make your daily life easier.
What is the Oticon EduMic?
The Oticon EduMic is a portable, wireless microphone designed specifically to complement your Oticon hearing aids. It uses reliable 2.4 GHz Bluetooth® technology and sends sound directly to your hearing aids. The result: speech sounds clear, direct and noise-free.
The EduMic bridges the distance between you and the speaker. Where you would normally have difficulty understanding someone at a distance, the EduMic captures the voice and transmits it to your ears without ambient noise.
For which hearing aids is the EduMic suitable?
The EduMic is compatible with most modern Oticon hearing aids, such as:
- Oticon Intent
- Oticon Opn™ and Opn S™.
- Oticon Xceed
- Oticon Opn Play™ and Xceed Play
- Oticon Ruby
- Oticon Siya
How does it work in practice?
1. External microphone
The EduMic easily clips onto a speaker’s clothing. This way, the voice is picked up instantly and sent to your hearing aids. Useful during meetings, lectures or when walking with someone.
2. Media streamer
Connect the EduMic to a computer, tablet, TV or music player via the 3.5 mm audio input. The sound is transmitted directly to your hearing aids. You enjoy a crystal-clear listening experience, unaffected by ambient noise.
3. Telecoil
Going to a theater, church, museum or lecture hall with a loop system? The EduMic has a built-in telecoil. So you don’t need a separate coil in your hearing aids – the EduMic captures the signal and sends it to your ears.
Situations where the EduMic really makes a difference
- During meetings: you can hear the speaker clearly even if there is a lot of murmuring.
- In sports or training: the coach or trainer wears the EduMic, so you hear all instructions clearly.
- In the classroom or lecture hall: the teacher can wear the EduMic, allowing you to follow lessons without any problems.
- At family parties or dinners: the EduMic filters out voices from noisy rooms so you can better join in on conversations.
- In public buildings: connect to teleloop systems without complicated settings.
User-friendly design
The EduMic was designed with simplicity in mind:
- One-touch operation.
- Portable and discreet with a clip or lanyard.
- LED indicators clearly show whether the microphone is active.
