What in the world is the Conversor Pro Plus? It is a combination of two existing Conversor products: 1) the Conversor Pro, and 2) the Conversor TV Pro systems). The Conversor Pro is comprised of two lightweight, rechargeable 
components. As shown in the image to the right, the smaller component is the pendant receiver (worn by the user) and the larger component is the transmitter/microphone. The Conversor Pro Receiver has a built-in microphone designed to pick up sounds occurring in close proximity to the user and may, therefore, be used on its own without the second component. The use of the Conversor Pro Transmitter comes into play when the user wants to hear a sound source located further away (i.e. lecture, classroom setting). In this situation, the speaker uses the transmitter which wirelessly sends conversations directly to the pendant receiver. The transmitter may also be placed on a table during family, meal or group discussions with the ability to switch the microphone on the transmitter from directional to omnidirectional mode.
In contrast, as shown in the image on the left, the Conversor TV Pro is a wireless listening system specifically designed to hear sound from the TV or other audio source. It is comprised of a transmitter and the same pendant receiver as the Conversor Pro previously described. When the transmitter is in connected to the TV or other audio source, the transmitter sends sound signals directly to the pendant receiver worn by the user. Recall that the pendant receiver may also be used independently as a personal listener.
The Conversor Pro Plus pictured on the right is comprised of the Conversor Pro system with the addition of the transmitter packaged with the Conversor TV Pro. As such, the Conversor Pro Plus is a wireless FM system that enables a user to hear conversations in various listening situations including sounds directly routed from the TV or other audio sources. This product is suitable for both non-hearing instrument wearers and for those patients fit with t-coil equipped hearing instruments.
I am still undecided about the best personal listening device that I can recommend to my patients…ex. 95 yrs old. Poor discrim, severe HL, difficulty managing her HAs and total loss of vision in one eye. Sharp as a tack when she can hear you! Family wants an easy way to send sound to her? I talked to Oaktree, but am not finding how much amplification is available? Can you recommend another device for my purpose?
Look into the Comfort Duett; easy to use, rechargeable batteries so no worries about changing out batteries. Output is high, can’t recall off the top of my head by probably around 124 dBSPL. Also has flexibility in allowing user to use it in looped areas. Can use it with TV and telephone. Call me at the office tomorrow at 800 347 1960 and just ask for A.U. and I can guide you more by asking you additional questions.

My pleasure; if there is a specific product that you need reviewed, pleased let me know and I will be more than happy to post on it. That is the true purpose of my blog!
I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.
But can the receiver handle simultaneous transmissions from both the pendant .AND. TV transmitters? This is one way I use the (since discontinued) Etymotic Companion Mic system…
[Note: The Companion Mic has just been deleted from the Etymotic.com website.]
Hi Dan:
you keep me on my toes so thank you for your comments! I am not sure what the answer is but will look into it tomorrow and let you know if that is possible!
I hope you never need to use the products you sell: I can tell you this, from firsthand experience caused by my own stupidity at 19. FML
By The Way, will you be exhibiting at the HLAA Convention 2011 and 2nd International Loop Conference in DC in three weeks? Other wholesalers, such as HARC, sell through a retail dealer. Talk to Nancy Macklin, as there is always “room for one more” booth.
Typically, the Convention draws about 800 “power user” attendees, as well as all 3 CI & a number of HA mfrs; plus a variety of governmental agencies; but the last time it was in DC (in Bethesda) in 1988, it drew over 1100.
Even if you don’t exhibit, you’ll still want to come as it’s a different crowd than at AAA; and you may be surprised at who you’ll bump into, especially this year in DC.
[If you come, you can fly straight into Reagan National (DCA), as it is across the street from the convention venue. Otherwise, fly into BWI & take the commuter rail into DC]
I already have committments to present elsewhere during those dates so the travel won’t work out this year; looks like a great conference and I will have to look into it for 2012.
