Thank you
Thank you for choosing the Unitron uStream.
At Unitron, we care deeply about people with
hearing loss. We work closely with hearing
healthcare professionals to make advanced,
purpose-driven solutions available to everyone.
Because hearing matters.
The intended use of uStream is to receive inputs
from dierent Bluetooth®devices and transmit
them wirelessly to your hearing aids.
Virtually any Bluetooth enabled audio device such
as mobile phones or MP-players are supported.
Enjoy speech and music from other multimedia
devices, such as computers, TV or music players.
uStream can also be used as a remote control
to adapt your hearing aids to dierent listening
situations.
Please note that your hearing healthcare
professional must congure your uStream
before it can be used as a remote control for
your hearing aids.
