The receiver is worn around the neck connected with an intergrated neck loop which is a reliable and effective way for listeners with telecoil-equipped hearing aids and cochlear implants to utilize their assistive listening system.
ListenRF receivers use intelligent Digital Signal Processing (iDSP) making them the best in the industry. All receivers offer outstanding audio clarity with the best ranges and reception.
