System Overview

The HEARING HELPER™ Tour Guide System is a portable, high-performance, wireless system composed of the PFM T32 or T31 Transmitter and PPA R35 Receivers and designed for use in guided tour applications. The system allows one-way transmission of a tour guide’s voice to group members using an FM radio signal. Using the system helps group members overcome background noise and distance from the person speaking.

The HEARING HELPER™ System can be used for large or small tour groups and in noisy or quiet environments.

Your HEARING HELPER™ Tour Guide System has two principal parts: the transmitter and the receiver. Much like a miniature radio station, the transmitter and microphone pick up the sounds you want to hear and broadcast them over an FM radio signal. The receivers and headphones are used to pick up the broadcast up to 100 meters away.

To avoid difficulties, please read through these instructions as you begin to use the system. Then save them for questions that arise as you continue to use your system.

The tour guide wears the body-pack transmitter and headset microphone. The guide’s voice is broadcast as an FM radio signal over a distance of up to 100 meters. Listeners use the pocket receiver and headphone to hear the speaker’s voice directly, with reduced background noise. A neckloop telecoil coupler allows the system to be used with telecoil (T-Switch) equipped hearing aids, at somewhat reduced range.
