Microphone FAQs
Connectivity
Q: How far from the microphone can I hear the sound?
A: You should be able to hear the streamed signal over 80 feet
(25 meters) from the microphone in ideal, clear line of sight
situations where the microphone is facing the hearing devices.
If the sound does not come through clearly, you may have to
move closer to the microphone. Range varies depending on the
environment.
Q: How do I stop streaming through the microphone?
A: Short-press the push button on the hearing aid or button on
Baha Sound Processor (top button on Baha 5 and 5 Power,
front button on SuperPower).
Q: How many hearing devices can the microphone be paired
with?
A: The microphone can be paired with as many hearing devices as
you need. For example, in a classroom setting one microphone
worn by the teacher could be paired to each compatible sound
processor worn by members of the class.
Q: What happens if I get a phone call via my phone clip while
I am using my microphone?
A: If you are using the telephone with phone clip the streaming via
the microphone will be temporarily disrupted. When you have
ended your phone call, streaming will resume.
Q: What causes a break in connection between the
microphone and the hearing devices?
A:1) The microphone and hearing devices are not within wireless
range: Ensure that the microphone and hearing devices are
within wireless range.
2) The battery in the sound processor or hearing aid is depleted
so that it no longer supports audio streaming. Replace the
battery with a new one.
3) If the microphone battery is depleted, charge the
microphone for a minimum of 3 hours.
Q: How many microphones can I have connected to my
hearing devices?
A: Your sound processor(s) can be paired with up to three
"shareable" Wireless Accessories (microphone and TV Streamer)
and one phone clip, making a total of four Wireless Accessories.
The Remote Control does not impact the number of Wireless
Accessories you can pair with.

Volume
Q: Where should I place the microphone?
A: Clip your microphone on the sweater, jacket or other clothing
within a range of 4 - 8 inches (10-20 cm) from the speaker's
mouth.
Q: Do volume adjustments on an auxiliary sound source
affect the volume in my hearing devices?
A: Yes. Always try to adjust the volume on the auxiliary device
to a comfortable level to minimize electrical noise. There is
also a volume control on the side of the microphone.
Q: How do I adjust the volume on the microphone?
A: Adjusting the listening volume can be accomplished in a
variety of ways. Keep in mind that volume adjustments
apply to the streamed signal only, not the volume of normal
environmental sounds.
1) Use the "+" and "-" keys on the microphone to adjust volume
to a comfortable level. Make sure that your hearing devices
are comfortably adjusted before you change the settings
with the volume control. When turned ON the microphone
automatically starts at the volume level last used. The line-in
volume level will default to a pre-set level on power up.
2) The volume level can also be changed at the input source i.e.
TV, ipod, or computer.
Q: Can I use the microphone as a table microphone?
A: The ReSound Micro Mic and Cochlear Mini Microphone 2 have
been designed for person-to-person communication only, where
the microphone user speaks into the microphone. The ReSound
Multi Mic and Cochlear Mini Microphone 2+ have an omni
microphone mode that is optimized for table or conference
microphone use. When a table or conference microphone mode
is desired, use the Multi Mic or Mini Mic 2+.
