The Companion Mics system was developed to help those who have significant difficulty understanding conversation in background noise, such as in restaurants and other noisy places.

Our quality of life depends to a great extent on our ability to communicate with family and friends. When this ability is compromised, there is a tendency to withdraw.

With the Companion Mics system, those who have been excluded from conversation in noisy places can enjoy social situations and fully participate again.

The Companion Mics system enables up to three talkers to speak to a single listener. The microphones in this system give up to a ten-to-one decrease in the relative noise level that is heard by the listener, which makes it possible to carry on a normal conversation even in high levels of background noise. The units use lithium polymer rechargeable batteries. Battery life is 10-13 hours, which gives ample use time for most applications. A complete charge takes 2-3 hours. To conserve battery life, the system automatically times out and turns off after a period of inactivity.
