iCom - The communication interface
The freedom of wireless connectivity
For many of us leading an active life, keeping in touch with our environment means being able to interface with a diverse range of communication systems like telephones, televisions, MP3 players, computers or other audio sources. For hearing instrument users, participating in these often important, sometimes just fun aspects of modern living has been a big challenge. Not anymore!
iCom offers the most convenient way to interface any Phonak CORE hearing instrument (excl. Petite models) to modern communication devices. The binaural digital transmission in stereo quality is extremely robust against any sort of interference. It wirelessly connects the hearing instruments to Bluetooth devices or phones and also offers a 3.5mm stereo jack for cabled connections and can integrate an FM receiver via europlug. Incoming signals are prioritized automatically and the hearing instruments will automatically switch to the individual iCom hearing programs. The large central button makes sure you can easily accept and reject a call or stop and start streaming audio.
Phonak sets the TV free
Now Phonak is introducing the iCom TV package. It easily and wirelessly connects the hearing instruments to the TV via Bluetooth, ideally adapting the sound to the hearing loss. This allows for hearing without restrictions, which makes watching TV a truly enjoyable experience. The iCom TV package enables you to listen in comfort and benefit from digital quality wireless stereo sound while relaxing in your favorite armchair.
