Description

The Phonak TV Connector is a wireless hearing aid streamer that when plugged into the back of your television/computer or laptop/HiFi will direct audio to your Lumity, Life, Marvel or Paradise hearing aids without the need for a neck loop. It will even stream the zoom calls when you’re struggling to hear the audio from your computer! Once paired with your hearing aids, the connector requires no other prompt to start streaming – simply turn on your television and the audio will be streamed directly.

Physically, the Phonak TV Connector is the smallest TV streamer available on the market and sits neatly and discreetly beside your TV. A Velcro tab comes with the product so you can attach it to the back of your television if you wish to hide it completely.

With a generous 15 meter (50ft) range.

Connecting to the audio source:

The TV Connector can be connected to the audio source by either of the two different audio cable inputs: Optical (Toslink) or Analog (3.5 mm jack). Either of the audio cables can be plugged into the dedicated audio socket on the TV Connector.

To use the Phonak TV Connector for the first time, simply plug the device into the USB in the back of the television or into a wall socket. When powered on for the first time, the connector will automatically pair with Lumity, Life, Marvel or Paradise hearing aids that are switched on and in range. You will hear an audible tone if wearing the hearing aids as confirmation that the pairing has taken place.

Then connect the device to your television/computer/HiFi with either the optical cable (Toslink) or the 3.5mm analog jack and turn the television on. Sound will automatically stream to your hearing aids. Please note that for most televisions, if used with the 3.5mm analog jack the sound will not be available from the main television speakers for unaided persons to hear.

Pairing with your aids:

When powered on for the first time, the connector will automatically pair with Marvel or Paradise hearing aids that are switched on and in range. You will hear an audible tone if wearing the hearing aids as confirmation that the pairing has taken place.

If the initial pairing is unsuccessful, or if the hearing aids are not within a 1 meter (3ft) range when the TV connector is first powered, turn your hearing aids off, or place them into your charger. Then press the pairing button on the back of the TV connector. Once pressed, the LED lights will blink green. Turn your hearing aids on or lift them from the charger. After the initial connection, the TV connector will connect again automatically.
