Features:
- Adaptive Three-Mic Array:
The three-microphone array senses how the device is positioned and automatically flips between a focused directional beam and an omnidirectional table mode for group listening. This adaptive pickup keeps speech clear whether the mic is worn, held, or laid flat.
- Direct LE Audio Streaming:
Direct LE Audio streaming sends voices up to 15 metres away straight into your hearing aids, boosting the signal-to-noise ratio and reducing listening effort in busy spaces. No neck-loop or extra relay is needed.
- On-Board Remote Control:
Built-in remote-control buttons let you nudge volume or switch programs; a short press adjusts loudness, while a long press cycles programs, even when the mic itself is switched off. It means one less gadget in your pocket.
- All-Day Battery with Quick USB-C Recharge:
A 10-hour streaming battery recharges in about three hours via USB-C, providing a full day of use for work or travel without hunting for a socket. Smart sleep mode preserves charge by powering down after 30 minutes without a connection.
- Intelligent Stream Management:
Intelligent connectivity pauses the mic stream automatically when a phone call or media stream starts, then resumes when the call ends. Drop-mute protection momentarily silences the mic if it’s knocked or dropped, preventing sudden noise bursts.

✔ Discreet, lightweight design – the integrated clip and optional lanyard sit comfortably on clothing without tugging, keeping attention on the conversation, not the hardware.
✔ Seamless source juggling – calls and music streams from your phone automatically take priority, then the mic fades back in when you hang up, so you never miss a beat.
✔ Clear LED and tone feedback – colour-coded lights and gentle tones confirm power, pairing, and low battery, giving confident cues even when you can’t see the mic.
Detailed Specs
Adaptive Three-Mic Array
The Table Mic hides three tiny microphones that work together as a single, intelligent pickup system. Each mic samples the soundscape at slightly different angles, then the on-board processor fuses those signals to lift the clearest speech while pushing down noise and room echo. On a busy café table or an open office desk, this hardware foundation gives the hearing aids a far cleaner signal to work with.
A built-in motion sensor keeps track of how the device is sitting. Clip it upright to a jacket or lanyard and the array snaps into a tight forward beam that focuses on the person wearing it, letting distant listeners follow every word without battling background clatter. Set it flat and the same array swings into a wide, even pattern so everyone seated around the mic is picked up at a natural level.
Because the transition is automatic and virtually instant, users never need to guess which mode they should choose. The microphone simply notices the change and reconfigures itself, maintaining a strong signal-to-noise ratio in both one-to-one and group situations. That hands-free adaptability keeps listening effort low across an unpredictable day.
Direct LE Audio Streaming
Once paired, the Table Mic beams sound to any Edge AI hearing aid over the low-energy 2.4 GHz link used for LE Audio. The path is direct: there is no neck-loop relay and no extra latency, so voices feel immediate and naturally timed with lip-reading cues. Speech stays intelligible up to fifteen metres, letting a presenter pace a room or a family member chat from across a large dining table.
Because LE Audio is purpose-built for hearing tech, signal integrity holds up in Wi-Fi-rich venues where classic Bluetooth often falters. The channel’s energy efficiency also means both the accessory and the hearing aids draw less current during long meetings or school lessons, leaving more charge in reserve for phone calls later in the day. This stable, low-power pipeline is the backbone that makes the mic genuinely useful rather than just occasionally handy.
Streaming control is equally seamless. If a call or a media clip arrives on the user’s phone, the Table Mic senses the new stream and politely steps aside; when the call ends it comes straight back in. Walk beyond fifteen metres and the mic pauses to avoid hiss, then resumes the moment you return. The result is uninterrupted listening flow, even when life throws interrupts at you.
On-Board Remote Control
Two low-profile buttons on the mic’s flank double as a full remote for the hearing aids. With the mic powered on, a quick tap nudges the streaming volume up or down in small, predictable steps. Power the mic off and those same taps now adjust the aids’ own microphones, so you can fine-tune world sounds without fishing for an app.
Press and hold either button for a couple of seconds and the hearing aids cycle programmes forward or back, handy when moving from a quiet office to a lively restaurant. Unlike a separate pocket remote, this control travels wherever the microphone goes, trimming daily carry and keeping hands free for notebooks or coffee cups. Visual confirmation comes from a clear LED flash and a soft tone in the aids, so you always know a command landed.
The remote function is ready the instant the devices are paired and stays memorised thereafter. Even if the mic battery happens to be flat, the buttons remain available for programme and volume tweaks, which avoids those awkward moments when you realise your “essential” accessory is out of charge. One piece of kit, two jobs, zero extra fuss.
All-Day Battery with Quick USB-C Recharge
A full charge powers roughly ten hours of continuous streaming—longer than most workdays—so there is no need to ration use in the afternoon. When the LED begins to pulse red, plugging into any USB-C source brings the battery back to full in around three hours, and a half-hour top-up during lunch adds hours of runtime. Sleep mode steps in after thirty minutes of disconnection, preserving charge until a button press wakes the mic, which means real-world endurance is even better than the spec sheet suggests.
Intelligent Stream Management
Everyday interruptions are handled automatically. Incoming phone calls or media streams take priority, the Table Mic quietly pausing its feed so the aids can switch over without layering sounds. If the device is dropped or knocked the microphones mute for a split-second, sparing the listener a jarring thump, then resume when the unit is steady. Range, battery and motion cues all feed into this logic, creating an accessory that “just behaves” without constant babysitting.
Intelligent Stream Management
The Table Mic’s firmware constantly listens for events such as phone calls, media playback, or a sudden loss of connection and reacts in real time. When a call comes in, the microphone feed pauses automatically so your hearing aids can switch to the phone’s audio without piling sounds on top of each other. As soon as the call ends, the mic stream fades back in at its previous level, restoring the conversation flow without any button-pushing.
Range awareness is built in. If you step more than about fifteen metres away, the mic senses the weak signal and suspends streaming to avoid hiss and battery drain. Walk back into range and it reconnects almost instantly, so you can fetch a coffee or duck to the printer without worrying that you’ll miss half the meeting.
Physical knocks are managed just as smoothly. Drop-mute circuitry detects a sudden jolt and mutes the microphones for a fraction of a second, preventing a loud thump from blasting through your aids. The system also enters a low-power sleep after thirty minutes of inactivity, waking with a single tap, which preserves battery life and ensures the mic is ready whenever you are.
FAQ's
How do hearing aids work?
Hearing aids work by picking up sound through a microphone, amplifying the sound via an internal amplifier, and then delivering the sound to the ear through a speaker. Modern hearing aids also have advanced features to reduce background noise and focus on speech clarity.
What types of hearing aids are available?
- There are several types of hearing aids, including:
- Behind-the-Ear (BTE): Worn behind the ear with a tube leading to the ear canal.
- In-the-Ear (ITE): Worn inside the outer ear, covering the entire ear.
- In-the-Canal (ITC): Fits partially inside the ear canal.
- Completely-in-Canal (CIC): Small and fits completely inside the ear canal.
- Receiver-in-Canal (RIC): The receiver (speaker) sits inside the ear canal, while the rest of the device is worn behind the ear.
How do I know which hearing aid is right for me?
The type of hearing aid that is right for you depends on factors such as the severity of your hearing loss, lifestyle, and personal preferences. An audiologist can assess your hearing loss and help recommend the most suitable hearing aid based on your needs.
Are hearing aids covered by insurance?
Coverage for hearing aids varies by insurance provider and plan. Some health insurance policies may cover the cost of hearing aids, while others may offer partial reimbursement. It’s important to check with your insurance provider for specific details on coverage.
Can hearing aids connect to other devices?
Yes, many modern hearing aids offer Bluetooth connectivity, allowing them to pair with smartphones, televisions, and other devices for hands-free communication or audio streaming. You can adjust settings and control the volume via smartphone apps or remotes.
How do I clean and maintain my hearing aid?
To maintain your hearing aid, clean it regularly using a soft cloth or a hearing aid brush to remove dirt and wax buildup. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals. You should also store your hearing aid in a dry place when not in use to prevent moisture damage.
