3. Basic use and wearing

3.1 What is a Streamer

The Streamer is a body-worn device that can connect your hearing instruments wirelessly to many different sound and communication media and thus, enables your instruments to function as wireless headphones.

If you have two hearing instruments, the sound will be directed to both ears.

Through the Streamer, your hearing instruments can connect to a number of audio sources and allows you to

•use a mobile phone fully hands-free.

•listen to music and audio from the radio, computer, portable music players (like mp3’s)

You can also use the Streamer as a remote control of the volume in the hearing instruments.

3.2 How to wear it

To make sure that you receive the best signal through the Streamer, it must be kept inside the Body Area Network. This is the area surrounding the hearing instruments within a range of approx. 0,5 meter. The wireless function enabling the Streamer and hearing instruments to communicate, called EarStream, operates at extremely low power levels.

The Streamer can be worn and carried in various ways to satisfy your personal taste, clothing and life style.
