Artone Bluetooth LoopSet - Introduction
Hearing aid users have a problem to communicate over
a mobile phone because of few reasons, the main reason
is the creation of an acoustic interference that is created
when the mobile phone handset is brought close to the
hearing aid.
The Artone Bluetooth LoopSet enables hearing aid
users to avoid the interference from the mobile phone
by removing the phone to “safe” distance from the
hearing aid.
In a time of a call a signal from the mobile phone is
wirelessly sent to the Bluetooth LoopSet, it gets
processed, cleared and amplified and then it is sent to
the user’s hearing aid.
The hearing aid processes the signal once again and
adjusts it to the user’s personal level.
In out put: The signal is captured by the Bluetooth
LoopSet microphone, it gets processed, cleared by
cutting the unnecessary background noises, it is
amplified and then the signal is sent to the user’s
handset. That process enables both parties of the
conversation hear and comprehend each other without
unnecessary struggle and problems.
The whole process is totally wireless and hands free.
Current version of the Artone BT LoopSet supports the
following profiles 2.0 +EDR: handsfree and headset
with prior Bluetooth technology V1.0 & V1.2.
