This is the ideal product if you still find it hard to hear even when using your hearing aids. The Contego is our bestselling elite listener and it can transform your ability to hear again. It helps you focus on the sounds you want to hear and reduce background noise.
How does it work?
The Contego comes in three parts. One part is the receiver which you hold, or clip to your clothing. The receiver sends the sound to your hearing aid(s) via a neckloop which plugs into the receiver and goes over your head like a necklace.
The final part is the transmitter. This picks up sound and wirelessly sends it to the receiver from up to 25 metres away. This is useful because it helps you hear sounds that are normally too far away for you to hear.
So, if you’re listening to a presentation you could give the transmitter to the presenter. Or if you’re sitting around a dinner table you could pop the transmitter in the middle of the table. Both these methods help you overcome the issues of listening at a distance.
Only hear what you want to hear
If you’re at the dinner table you probably want to hear what everyone is saying, but during a presentation you would want to focus more on the presenter. The Contego has the flexibility to do both. This is because there is a microphone in the receiver and the transmitter and they can both be adjusted to control the sound in different ways. You can set the microphones to draw in sound from all around (ideal for hearing everyone around the dinner table), or you can set them to focus on sound from a specific direction, like during a presentation.
Don’t worry - it’s simple to use
You’ll be pleased to know that there are no complicated menus. You can control the volume of the transmitter and the receiver separately using simple ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons. The display clearly shows how loud you have set the volume.
You also change between the two different microphone settings at the touch of a button. So, if you are listening to a presentation and then suddenly want to hear what someone in the audience is saying then you can quickly adjust the microphone settings accordingly.
