#3. SILHOUETTE
SINGLE = $37.99
DUAL = $67.99
This can be used instead of a loop to connect the telephone coil on the hearing aid with any device. It is stronger than the loop because it is closer to the hearing aid. It is a bother to some people because the cord gets in the way.

This allows a person to hear up to 7 people. You plug the cord from the mixer into the pocketalker. Each person attaches the clip on the mic as close to their mouth as possible and the cord goes under the table and the end of the cord goes into the mixer. I plug them in the same way each person is sitting so I remember which mic belongs to which person. Plug the switch into one whole and two mics into it. Plug the loop into the pocketalker.
