Siemens has rolled out a new medical device, which is known as the miniTek Remote. The device syncs all your high-tech gadgets with your hearing instruments, and connects you to multiple devices simultaneously. This audio platform connects the hearing instruments to nearly every type of modern electronic communications and entertainment equipment using wireless standards such as Bluetooth or a 3.5mm audio jack. Adapters that are connected to a TV, for example, make it possible for the sound to be transmitted via the “miniTek” to the hearing instrument wearer. Furthermore, the system can connect the hearing instruments with the FM transmitters commonly used in schools and elsewhere and with the induction loops installed in movie theaters or function rooms. At the same time the miniTek also stays connected to phones, which signal incoming calls directly to the hearing instruments. If the wearer accepts the call by pressing a button on the miniTek, the instrument automatically switches over from the television or stereo feed. When watching TV, a person can also indulge in a conversation at the same time. The integrated rechargeable battery lasts a day depending on use and can be completely recharged in only three hours. The Siemens miniTek Remote will be available in 2011.
