Bellman & Symfon Mino Personal Amplifier — Product Overview

Product overview for the Bellman & Symfon Mino, a pocket-size digital speech amplifier for everyday listening situations, including its accessory lineup.

Overview

The Mino is a speech amplifier that helps people hear better in most everyday situations, whether they wear a hearing aid or simply experience occasional hearing difficulty. It uses digital technology similar to modern CD/DVD players to deliver crystal-clear speech, free from background noise.

• Pocket-size and lightweight — about 2½ oz, small enough for a pocket without weighing you down
• Single-touch operation — all functions accessed with a simple button press, no complicated menus
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery — up to 18 hours per charge, less than 2 hours to recharge
• Dual microphone modes: omni-directional and unidirectional "zoom" microphone to focus on the speaker and reduce background noise
• Built-in telecoil — picks up sound in venues fitted with hearing loop systems (theaters, churches, concert halls)
• Enjoy music and TV at any volume without disturbing others, with full hi-fi quality
• Can boost a hearing aid via neck loop, acting as a remote volume/tone control and additional microphone selector

How It Works — Everyday Use Cases

• At home: Place the Mino near the person speaking and listen at your own comfortable volume without others needing to raise their voice. It isolates speech while removing background noise.
• With friends: Switch to the zoom microphone in noisy environments (restaurants, coffee houses, terminals, stores, airports) to focus on the conversation and reduce background noise.
• In theaters: The built-in telecoil picks up the electromagnetic signal from hearing-loop-equipped venues (look for the "T" symbol) for perfect sound whether in a pocket or on a table.
• In stores: Use the MicroSet™ accessory (lapel microphone + discreet earphone) to keep both hands free while reducing store background noise.
• Watching TV: Connect via a cable kit for stereo TV sound without raising the household volume; press Push-to-Listen to lower the volume and rejoin conversation.
• With a hearing aid: Connect a neck loop to further amplify speech and control volume/treble/microphone selection remotely; can also amplify TV sound directly into the hearing aid.
