Nokia Wireless Loopset: Designed for People with Hearing Aid
Nokia Wireless Loopset is an accessory that was designed distinctively for people with hearing aids to improve their mobile communication. With the presence of this device, people who have T-coil equipped hearing aid or cochlear implant can be relief now. They will be provided with premium audio quality and handsfree operation of their mobile devices and other compatible audio devices. The Loopset is expected to start shipping worldwide in the first quarter 2009, with an estimated price of less than 200 Euros, before applicable taxes or subsidies.
“The Nokia Wireless Loopset provides hearing aid users with a hassle-free and handsfree connection to their mobile phones,” said Peeta Piiparinen, R&D Specialist, Nokia. “Sound is amplified more efficiently, while the distance between the phone and hearing aid means that the possibility of interference is greatly reduced. The loopset filters out background noise, which increases speech discrimination, and offers excellent audio quality in a range of environments such as the car, office, or even in windy conditions outdoors.”
