Nokia Wireless Loopset: Cell phone accessory for users with hearing aids

nokia-loopset.jpg

In early 2009, Nokia is set to release its new HS-67WL Wireless Loopset, which will provide people with T-coil equipped hearing aids or cochlear implants to obtain better audio quality and hands-free operation of cell phones and other portable devices. The device is compatible with Bluetooth handsets, and enables users to receive calls wirelessly through their hearing aids as well as vibrating alerts, while filtering out background noises. It comes with a neckloop and a single button to handle calls.

The Loopset is expected to be priced at around 200 Euros.
