By Jennifer Groth Which of the two hearing aids shown in the drawing below has the best directivity? The obvious difference between them is their shapes and the way this causes the microphones to sit at more of an angle on the right example, and more horizontally oriented on the left example. Based on this […]

By Stephen Hallenbeck, Au.D One of the benefits of Remote Microphone Technology is that it takes advantage of the natural directivity afforded by the pinna and external ear. The shape and orientation of the pinna provide directivity by enhancing sounds from the front and providing less amplification for sounds originating behind the head. Placing the

By Stephen Hallenbeck, Au.D This week, I’ll be posting a number of blog posts about the science behind Remote Microphone Technology and the patient benefits in terms of localization, directivity and wind noise reduction. Remote Microphone Technology works by leveraging the natural effects of the pinna and external ear. The pinna carries out an important
