Voice Priority

Oticon Amigo FM teacher in classroom

Prioritizing voice over noise

Classrooms are noisy environments. Can the child ever get a clean speech signal?
In noisy classrooms, getting a clear speech signal takes more than just transmitting it from A to B. Amigo refines the signal and ensures that only the most relevant sounds are transmitted.

 Amigo transmits loud and soft voices into a comfortable voice level

1. Loud teacher voice
2. Soft teacher voice
3. Comfortable voice level

Using advanced hearing aid technologies, Amigo maintains a clear focus on speech by:

  • Reducing noise before transmitting to the child
  • Balancing varying voice levels
  • Compensating for different microphone placements
  • Reducing signal when no voice is present
