    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    You will love it. Again, just make sure you turn the outside microphone off. Also a quirk, if it doesn't seem to want to connect properly with the plug after plane starts, simply unplug the adapter from the cord and then plug back in. This will force it to change to the plug mode. Let me know if...

    Good morning! If you scroll to the above posts of mine, you can see my experience .... but to sum it up...If you have the Cochlear mini-mic (or Resound SM-2M 2.4GHz Micro Mic -- Same thing), you can get the an 1x 3.5mm 1/8"Male to 6.35mm 1/4" Male Adapter Aux Cable For Mixer Amplifier Plug to...

    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    I know your post is a little old but thought I'd share anyway....I have been using the Cochlear "mini-mic" which has been a great asset for funneling sound from the radios to my ears. (I have Kanso 2 cochlear implant processors that are NOT on my ears so I cannot hear with regular headsets.)...

    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    An update -- It's been a while, but I managed to join a club and have been using the Cochlear "mini-mic" which has been a great asset for funneling sound from the radios to my ears. (I have Kanso 2 cochlear implant processors that are NOT on my ears so I cannot hear with regular headsets.) (See...

    Cochlear implants

    To answer your questions: -- yes, I am able to turn off ambient mics so I only get what's coming through the mini-mic. THat's the nice part. -- about what headsets I used when I had BTE hearing aids...it was a Sigtronics S-20. They had gel-pads and were very comfy around my ears. If you...

    My Cochlear Processors are the ones that are self-contained disks above my ears. I have the Kanso 2s -- see photo just to give you an idea of what it looks...

    Cochlear implants

    Did a test using my regular headsets and using a Resound Mini-mic that plugged into the avionics on the plane. Worked like a charm. Might be worth testing out.

    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    Update -- managed a test flight with my old instructor. Seems that my theory worked. I was happy to see that I could hear via the mini-mic when it streamed to my Kansos. The only thing we both noticed after awhile was there was this backgound hissing noise and we thought it was the squelch but...

    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    I did pitch similar questions there and did not really get much help but I'll keep trying. I got the impression that most pilots on their site did not use communications and flew only non-controlled airports. Thank you for the tip. I'm getting closer to a resolution and am very excited to see...

    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    Thank you. I think I may have a workaround. I have the new Kansos that don't have the behind the ear processor. However I can still wear my old headsets and just not use the ear phone jack and only plug in the mic jack and I'll put in the headphone jack on the plane the mini mic or a bluetooth...

    Do you have a photograph of how this looks in the cockpit? I thought the mini mike only streams sound. How does one transmit your responses with it?

    Any pilots with cochlear implants here?

    I am curious to hear how using the "mini mike" works in the cockpit.

    Are you talking about the Kansos? I'm trying to figure out how to deal with this as well.
