EduMic and ConnectClip comparison

Oticon offers two remote microphone solutions to help hearing aid wearers navigate the challenges of listening in noisy environments: the ConnectClip and EduMic.

While both are effective solutions that can assist hearing aid wearers, the EduMic has several benefits compared to the ConnectClip that make it a more suitable option when choosing a solution for an educational setting.
1
Multiple Users
The EduMic can be paired with multiple sets of hearing aids, so teachers will only need to wear one transmitter for multiple students.
2
Telecoil
The EduMic has the added benefit of a telecoil, wich gives wearers access to teleloop system , even if they do not have a telecoil in their hearing aids.
3
Ease of use
The EduMic has been design with ease of use and practicality in mind with features such as automatic program changes, and a mute button so the teacher can mute the sound when having a conversation with other students.
4
Audio Jack input
The EduMic has a direct audio input jack that allows students to stream media directly to their hearing aids.
