The Oticon Amigo family
The Oticon Amigo family consists of: Transmitters -The FM Transmitter is worn by the teacher, speaker or parent. It is actually a microphone and transmitter working together. Transmitters can also be connected directly to a TV or computer. The transmitter picks up the sound coming into the microphone, then sends (transmits) the sound directly to the receiver that is connected to the hearing aid. There are different styles of transmitters and microphones – click on the “Transmitters” link on the left for additional information and pictures of Amigo Transmitters. Receivers-The FM receiver is the part of the FM solution that typically plugs into the bottom of the hearing aid. If two hearing aids are worn, usually two receivers are worn - one on each hearing aid. You may be able to attach the receiver directly to the hearing aid or connect it using an adaptor boot or “shoe”. The FM receiver picks up the sound that is sent by the FM transmitter. So when the teacher or speaker talks, it will sound like they are speaking directly into the child’s ear. Some FM receivers are not connected to the hearing aids, but rather are worn on the body. They receive the sound in the same way, but may be used with headphones when hearing aids are not worn.
