With a T-coil equipped hearing aid or cochlear implant, this practical device can help hearing aid users enjoy premium audio quality and hands free operation of their mobile devices and other compatible audio devices. Compatible with handsets that use Bluetooth connectivity, the Nokia Loopset enables mobile calls to be accessed wirelessly through the hearing aid. Key features of the Nokia Wireless Loopset include a vibrating alert, user adjustable side tone level for enhanced clarity and control of own voice, and optimized volume range and frequency response.
With ease of use in mind, it comes with a comfortable neck loop and a single button for call handling. The Nokia Loopset is expected to start shipping worldwide in the first quarter 2009, with an estimated price of less than 200 Euros ($317), before applicable taxes or subsidies.
