FM Systems Hearing Devices

FM Systems are a wireless assistive hearing device that helps to enhance the use of hearing aids, cochlear implants and also assist those people who have difficulties with hearing but don’t wear hearing aids, in particular over distance and in noisy environments.

They also allow sound to be picked up closer to a speech or sound source, or can be connected directly to the sound source and transmitted to the individual.

This provides them with clearer speech/sound and a reduction in background noise.

How do FM Systems Work?

A traditional FM System will include two main parts, a radio transmitter and a radio receiver, the transmitter will capture sound through a microphone or direct connection to a sound source and also transmit to the receiver.

Transmitters and receivers will vary depending on the manufacturer and brand, some hand manual controls and others have manual controls with a small screen for menu selection, this is to set the transmission frequency between the transmitter and receiver, then to select the use of the audio input.

The screen may also show the battery level, frequency and direction of the microphone.

The Benefits of Using an FM System

An FM system will empower a hearing aid wearer with their own light weight, portable, flexible and discrete aid, it can be used in a range of daily situations, especially those that require additional hearing assistance as hearing aids alone are not always sufficient when it comes to background noise and distance, FM systems can also go almost anywhere.

More about FM Systems

For people who experience hearing loss often and struggle with clearly understanding speech in loud environments, FM systems can be really helpful. Their hearing aids will be working overtime to try and pick out the speech signal in the presence of the background noise, in order to give your hearing aids a break and reduce your mental fatigue, you should consider using an FM system. These are helpful for use when going out to restaurants, parties or other large gatherings.

Why use an FM system for hearing loss?

Reducing background noise – People who have hearing loss, and even those without can often have trouble hearing in situations with loud noise and background noise getting in the way. FM systems help to reduce this noise and will amplify the voice of the speaker that you are trying to hear.

Improvement in sound clarity – When receiving the signal of interest directly to your ears or your hearing aids, the sounds will be a lot clearer than if it had to travel through a loud environment to get to you. FM systems are like having your conversation partner speak directly into your ear.

Hearing from distances – FM systems can be a great way to ensure that you are hearing every word that the person in front of you is saying, this is especially the case for lectures, speeches and other types of shows or presentations. FM receivers can reproduce the signal clearly for you, even in the largest rooms.

Reducing fatigue – Just like any part of the body, if you are using it a lot, like your hearing when trying hard to hear, you may suffer from mental fatigue. One of the symptoms of hearing loss tends to be a feeling of exhaustion, however with FM systems, they amplify speech signals in even the most challenging environments.
