Getting started

Charging the uMic

The system consists of three main elements:

• uMic

• Unitron hearing aids

• Unitron uDirect 2
The uMic transmits the speaker’s voice

wirelessly to your hearing aids via the uDirect 2
streamer.

The hearing aid microphone level will
automatically be adjusted while the uMic signal
is received. The level of adjustment is set by
your hearing healthcare professional.
