OH and how hard is it to set the FM unit?? I mean should I really stay on top of things and see what the settings are set at on the one my daughter wears at school or should I trust they know what theya re doing?? This is their first year with the Solaris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey has the Oticon multifocus aides. The school bought the Phonak Pico-Forte Behind the ear hearing aides and the Microlink Wireless FM system. I wanted them to buy their hearing aides and all because in case Audrey's own personal aides were broken she wouldn't have anything to use. They agreed and also the audie pointed out they could be used again for another child who might not necessarily wears hearing aides. I like it. We had a problem in the beginning due to interference but he company fixed it. We are having a problem now only because the school failed to take care of it over the summer. The audie we see told me she has 4 other young kids using this system and no problems. The phonic Ear Solaris FM system is dependent on your own personal aides and this is why didn't want it. We did give it to them as another price quote. Our audie felt it was good but not as great as the microlink. That's my 2 cents. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Solaris can be used in one of three ways: 1) Remove the hearing aids, fit button molds, and use the amplifier in the Solaris 2) Boot the HA's with a DAI boot and connect them to the Solaris 3) With the TMX system (wireless FM) Each one has it's advantages and disadvantages. If your child has programmable or digital aids, then it would be a waste not to use either DAI or the TMX.

Maybe because we didn't want them to use my daughter's aids. I guess explained it better. We really wanted the Microlink FM. I only understood that The Solaris FM we had to use our aids. Sorry if I scared you. Maybe it was a certain type we were looking at. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senso will boot into the 471, for sure, it should work for the Solaris, however the DAI boots for the Sensos, at least the ones has, have short cords, and aren't long enough to put the FM at waist level like the Solaris was designed to be worn. Check this out first before purchasing this system.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 1999 Report Share Posted September 18, 1999 Hi , I'm not but I thought I'd butt in. My son has the Widex Sensos (C18s), and uses a Solaris FM. The cords for his Sensos are long enough to have the FM at his waist, but maybe not for the other ones, which I think you are getting (P38??). However, his FM also came with a harness that puts the FM at chest level, so maybe your daughter could use that instead. > The Senso will boot into the 471, for sure, it should work for the Solaris, > however the DAI boots for the Sensos, at least the ones has, have > short cords, and aren't long enough to put the FM at waist level like the > Solaris was designed to be worn.

I do not have experience with this brand in particular but I know with other ones, the cords come in different lengths. Contact the manufacturer.

We would like to move him to a Solaris but the DAI cords that he has aren't long enough. Maybe there are longer cords available now.

JD's DAI cord for his Solaris is 25 inches long (counting the plugs, the cord itself is 24 inches long). Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
