The External Telecoil (T-coil) connects to the direct connect Earhook and provides a way for wireless communication systems to interface with the Auria sound Processor. In order for the T-coil to be effective, the child must have access to a looped system or a hearing-aid-compatible telephone, both of which allow the T-coil to receive the electromagnetic field generated by these devices.
Accent Color Covers and Caps A unique variety of snap-on color covers and caps are available. These are easily snapped on or off of the Auria sound Processor or headpiece and are sized to fit the Processor Module and battery, when attached.
