Spanish designer, manufacturer and supplier of standard and custom inductive components for the electronics market, Premo, has enlarged its telecoil family with a high reliability and sensitivity coil for application in hearing aids. The TP0602 series is wound with thin copper wires less than 25 μ (up to 0.012 mm diameter) and inductance values between 40 and 170 mH. The telecoil achieves a high sensitivity to magnetic field in 1 kHz. The ferrite core material provides a stable performance from –10 to 40ºC. Its Surface Mounting Device configuration allows easy integration in an automatic printed circuit board assembly process, avoiding handling of the piece that could damage winding wire of the piece. These components, which are included in most existing hearing aid devices, work as a magnetic field sensor, turning the magnetic field into electric voltage as a standard microphone does with the acoustic energy. This allows the hearing handicapped to receive the signal from a magnetic inductive loop located in public buildings and transportation.
A hearing aid is compatible with mobile phones when it meets the FCC’s technical standard for hearing aid compatibility and has a telecoil. The company’s telecoil product range includes different sizes to allow its inclusion in most hearing aid models. The series TC0502, TP0602, TC0902 and TC1102 are also available with custom electrics characters according to customer needs.
