I expect to be soon in the market for a new pair of hearing aids to replace my 10 year old Bernafon Verites. The KS 10 is high on my list already.
A few questions for forum members to would help inform and educate me. Please overlook the fact some of the Qs may seem naive (they only reflect my lack of understanding of current tech…)
- Is the microphone in the BTE to pick up my voice (for transmitting to the phone via BT) in tel conversations?
- is there the equivalent of an external microphone that I can clip on to my collar (as they do in TV interviews)? incoming voice would be streamed into my BTEs whereas outgoing voice would be picked up by the external mic and passed on to the phone. I ask this as in a noisy environment the mic in the BTEs may not be picking up my voice as well as would an external mic.
- Can I wear a headphone (i.e., covering my RIC and possibly obscuring the BTE too)? or would it produce feedback and create other problems?
