How it works

• Compatible with assistive listening devices, CD players, FM systems, or other audio devices through a standard 3.5 mm audio input jack
• Mixes audio input from one or two sources (i.e., microphone and/or assistive listening device) at user's discretion

• Runs Standard Sound Delivery sound processing strategies
• Runs HiRes Sound
• Stores multiple hearing programs for different listening environments
• Dual-action Automatic Gain Control manages soft and loud sounds separately, providing protection against sudden bursts of sound
