Transmitter use in complex listening
environments
The use of a transmitter may have an
impact on speech discrimination in complex
listening situations. Special caution is
advised for children from five to eight years
of age. Children may be unable to manage
interfering, non-speech sound transmitted
to their better ear by the device.
