Key features of a Hearing accessory - Music device:

Function: This accessory is typically a specialized portable coupler, stream box, or adapter designed to create a direct, wireless, or wired connection between a personal audio device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, music player) and a participant's hearing technology (hearing aids, cochlear implants, or sound processors).

Purpose: The device's goal is to transmit the music signal directly to the hearing device, bypassing the external microphone. This process significantly improves the sound quality, clarity, and richness of music by reducing interference and optimising frequencies for the user's specific hearing profile.

Benefit: Participants gain an enriched and inclusive auditory experience, allowing them to fully engage with music, audiobooks, and other audio media for leisure and personal development. This support promotes social inclusion and mental well-being by facilitating engagement with cultural activities.

The item is listed with a Unit of Measure of 'Each' and does not have a mandatory quote requirement, meaning it is considered a non-quotable item within the Assistive Technology category.
