By means of the ConnectClip, the hearing aids of Oticon Opn are converted into a wireless stereo headset. It transmits telephone calls or music directly to the hearing aid, so that the user ex-periences hands-free operation and can enjoy improved sound quality. The small and discreetly designed ConnectClip functions also as a wireless microphone. Users can hand it to a person who is talking and hear this voice clearly and without troublesome background noises.
Statement by the Jury
The discreet design of the ConnectClip is attractive. It eases everyday experiences of people whose hearing is overstrained or impaired.
