personal computers.

receive audio from devices such as your home
stereo and telephone.
• It can also connect many devices – such as

audio jack.
• iCom is also compatible with Phonak’s range of
FM receivers via Europlug input.
iCom wirelessly streams the received audio signal to
your hearing instruments so that you can use these
