Understanding wireless technology

FM technology refers to a type of wireless system that helps people better understand speech in noisy situations. FM systems commonly work together with a user’s hearing aids, although systems are also available for those with otherwise normal hearing (such as people who suffer from APD, ADHD etc.).

An FM system works like this:

 

 

  • The person speaking wears or holds a transmitter microphone, or the transmitter is placed in the middle of the group (picking up speech from all around).
  • Using harmless radio waves, the FM system sends speech signal(s) to the listener, who wears a tiny FM receiver behind the ear.
