Like previous versions of the Pocketalker Ultra, the Pocketalker 2.0 is useful for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss, who need assistance with hearing in 1-to-1 conversations, small groups, or in looped environments. It is easy to use and durable. It is very useful in settings such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities to help staff or visitors communicate with residents. Its ergonomic lightweight design makes it easy for anyone to use. It has both an internal microphone for conversations where the speaker is close to the hard of hearing individual, and there is an external microphone that can be plugged into an extension cord to hear up to 12 feet away.
Some of the new and improved features over the Pocketalker Ultra and Pro are:
- Extended high and low-frequency range
- Now compatible with either mono or stereo headphones so you can use whatever headset feels most comfortable
- Up to 63 dB amplification
