Three pins connect it to any behind-the-ear hearing aid that uses a Europlug standard direct audio input (DAI) connector (Figure 2). The pins on the ELI module rotate 270 degrees to accommodate either a right or left hearing aid. ELI provides bidirectional digital communication between a Bluetooth-enabled digital cell phone and a hearing aid. Since the signal being transmitted between these devices is digital, it is not subject to the same sources of interference as other types of wireless transmission, such as analog FM or analog inductive transmission."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050718-Eli.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />I have no experience or knowledge in the realm of hearing aids. I and my family have been lucky, I guess. Apparently when you use a hearing aid and a cellphone there are some feedback issues. This is a smart solution to the problem. If you're in this situation, or know of someone that is, you should check it out. :)
