“ConnectClip is a unique multipurpose device that empowers Oticon Opn users to participate even more and interact in a number of everyday listening situations that are, at best, difficult and, at worst, impossible,” said Paul Bauer, MA, CCC-A, director of product management, marketing for Oticon, Inc. “ConnectClip allows users to make and receive hands-free calls from iPhone or Android smartphones in the car or on the go. With ConnectClip’s remote microphone functionality, users can hear what is being said at a distance or in difficult listening environments. The speaker simply clips on the remote microphone and sound is streamed directly to the hearing aids.”

ConnectClip is designed to enable high-quality streaming with 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy from any modern smartphone to both Opn hearing aids. According to Oticon, audio or music from Bluetooth-connected mobile phones, MP3 players, PCs, and more can be streamed in stereo to both hearing aids. ConnectClip can be paired or connected directly to a computer’s built-in Bluetooth or used with the BTD 800 USB dongle. Opn wearers can also use ConnectClip as a remote control to adjust volume and change programs on their hearing aids discreetly with the touch of a button.
