The Oticon Medical Streamer is part of the ConnectLine range. It
is the key to the ConnectLine, working as the connectivity
interface for the Oticon Medical implantable hearing solutions eg
Ponto
-
currently compatible with Ponto Plus, Ponto Plus Power
and Ponto 3.
Note - this Streamer is NOT compatible with Oticon hearing aids
or the Ponto 4 (which can be used with the Oticon ConnectClip
instead).
It wirelessly connects the Ponto Plus to audio sources for
communication, entertainment and information purposes, such as a
mobile phone, landline phone, TV, music player, PC, etc.
The Oticon Medical Streamer is worn around the neck and connects
your Ponto wirelessly to different audio sources and makes them
work like wireless headphones.
The Oticon Medical Streamer transmits the sound directly into
both Ponto instruments and thereby improves the audio
experience by giving excellent sound clarity.

to Android devices plus iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch® via the free

real time audio
directly to the instruments. The benefit is a 10 kHz
undistorted, crystal clear audio signal.

all other ConnectLine devices (purchased separately, see Associated
Items on Right) connected and ensures that the desired audio source
are heard when needed.
The Ponto Plus needs no operation by the user but will
automatically switch to the correct program dedicated the selected
audio source.
Personal wireless headphones
When a set of hearing instruments is linked to Oticon Medical
Streamer, audio is transmitted directly and securely to one or both
Ponto Plus. The Ponto Plus resembles miniature wireless headphones,
custom tailored to the user’s hearing loss.

devices and mobile phones are always connected and ready for use.

applications are easily controlled by pressing one button on Oticon

can stay connected and be used seamlessly.
When not used for audio streaming, Oticon Medical Streamer also
functions as a remote control for volume control and program
shift.
