The hearing aid Audéo B-Direct may be directly linked to any mobile phone. It is possible for the user to answer or reject a call – by simply touching a button on the hearing aid – and to talk even if the phone is at the other end of the room. In connection with a television, the hearing aid transforms into wireless headphones. The slim design has been optimised for connectivity, and thanks to the new placement of the microphone, noises from hair and wind have been reduced.
