The Micro-Mic+ is a remote microphone that can be used with Jabra Enhance Pro 20 HA. It s available through Costco.
Using the Jabra Enhance Pro App, when the Mic is turned on, the App offers the ability to send the Mic output to the HA in addition to the HA input from your surroundings. You can adjust the volumes of these two inputs independently to suit yourself.
The App allows volume control of the Mic if it is on, and the HA modes, like “Normal” for example, are applied to the Mic input as well as the surround input from the HA itself. The Mic has a volume control on itself that extends the App volume control to a wider range.
For example, placing the Mic near the TV, I can hear the TV sound track anywhere in my house. Jabra says up to 81 feet away. Using the Mode selections and the volume controls I can understand speech on the TV pretty well, although comprehension does vary depending upon which program is on.
I’d say the Multi-Mic+ is a useful addition to the Jabra Enhance Pro20 HA.
In this useful post you variously call it “Micro Mic” and Multi Mic". What I have is the Multi Mic from ReSound/Jabra. According to a page online, it seems that they also make a very similar item and call it the Micro Mic. So, either way, an external mic like this can be a big help in all the ways you mention–and beyond. Brands other than ReSound/Jabra also make and sell external mics that can connect with HAs and greatly extend your pickup area.
It’s also called the Minimic2 and very useful with a Cochlear implant. The Minimic2 is exactly the same, made by Resound for Cochlear only Cochlear rebranded it and hiked up the price considerably.
Does the Edu-mic serve as an omni-directional mic like the Multi-Mic and Multi-mic+ do? My reading is that the Edu-mic is more like ReSound’s Mini-mic, good for one person’s voice.
Yeah - it’s a lot less money than the Roger system, and it really helps in some situations. It works only with ReSound, Jabra, and other relabeled ReSound HAs, though. I’m hoping Auracast will give us a wider choice of options.
The Mic also can be plugged into the TV headphone output. My observation is that not using the plug but instead putting the Mic in front of the TV and using its microphones provides more control.
I agree. My original Jabra Multi-Mic had no identifying marks on it. It failed in warranty. The replacement came in a ReSound box and has ‘ReSound’ silk-screened on the clip. The instruction manual is identical except for the brand name. I’m comfortable thinking the Multi-mics and other accessories are the same no matter what the cover says.
Disconnecting the Multi-Mic. Is there a way to do this? Even after I disconnect from my HAs, it remains in ON position until it decides to quit, later, with a loud chime. Annoying. Would rather do the disconnect action when I desire.
I use the mulit-mic and tv streamer a lot. Every time I’m done with the accessory, my EP 10s stay in the program for the accessory. Eventually the accessory realizes it’s doing nothing; it beeps; and it switches to the All-Around program. Is that what you’re writing about?
I avoid the annoying and jarring beep by manually going to the All-Around program. Definitely annoying. I often forget to do the manual switch…
Yeah but one thing is that “annoying and jarring beep” is easily adjustable in SmartFit, different frequencies can be added as well as the volume (dB)
So either a frequency you can’t hear or dB level you can just hear will sort that out.
