SurfLink Mobile provides Carefree Connectivity

by Dr. Maria Abramson on 07/19/12

For the first time, SurfLink Mobile allows wearers of Starkey Hearing Technologies wireless hearing aids to use hearing aid microphones to pick up their own voices while talking on their phones.  This frees you from the existing requirement of wearing streaming devices around your neck in order to keep microphones in close proximity to your mouth. 

During a conversation, SurfLink Mobile streams two-way audio in real time from the mobile phone to the hearing aids and from the hearing aids back to the mobile phone.  This allows for completely hands-free mobile phone use.  For communication in noisy environments, you have the option to use the built-in microphones on SurfLink Mobile to pick up your voice for your phone conversation.
