A "Mini mic" is an assisted listening device that works with Cochlear America's cochlear implants and some hearing aids. It is wireless. The microphone is a tiny hand held device that can be clipped on a lapel or set on a table. The microphone transmits desired sound directly to the cochlear processor or compatible hearing aid. It is similar to other devices that are available for streaming. The Roger Pen is another one. It's a wonderful tool in noisy social settings.
