Wireless communication technology is very common today for a multitude of applications
and situations all over the world, whenever communication is in the focus of
interest. Other examples of the use of wireless communication technology are:
- Cablefree telephones
- Walky-talkies
- Baby monitoring systems
An wireless communication system
(FM system)
for hearing instrument users works on the same principle. It consists of a transmitter, which picks
up the voice from the speaker and sends it via radio waves, wirelessly, directly to the tiny radio (FM)
receiver, which is connected to the personal hearing instrument.
 | Why wireless communication is important Even with the best hearing instruments, most hearing-impaired people notice that they have difficulty hearing in certain situations such as using a telephone, watching television, during a business meeting, or in a restaurant. Using an wireless communication system (FM system) makes communication in all these difficult situations much easier.

Phonak’s
wireless communication has also improved Steve’s quality of life:
"Regarding MicroLink which you gave me to try out I must say,
it is so good for me! All my friends ask me: “What happened to you, why can you hear so well?”, so I
had to explain this little device called MicroLink.
It’s given me such a boost in life.
Once again I can hear without being frustrated, being depressed, unhappy, missing out on what people
are saying. I can hear the following very well with this device: television, in church I can hear the
speaker, stereo in the car, when I sit in my room I can hear people outside of the room…
My
whole life has changed. It is astonishing what a difference this little device can do for a person in
such a short time."
