Nokia today announced the Nokia Wireless Loopset HS-67WL, an accessory designed specifically for improved mobile communications for people with hearing aids. The Loopset is expected to start shipping worldwide in the first quarter 2009, with an estimated price of less than 200 Euros, before applicable taxes or subsidies.

Compatible with handsets that use Bluetooth connectivity, the HS-67WL enables mobile calls to be accessed wirelessly through the hearing aid. Key features of the Nokia Wireless Loopset include a vibrating alert, user adjustable sidetone level for enhanced clarity and control of own voice, and optimized volume range and frequency response. With ease of use in mind, it comes with a comfortable neckloop and a single button for call handling.

Nokia introduced the first loopset, the Nokia LPS-1, more than a decade ago. The Nokia LPS-1 loopset was the first product of its kind in the world, enabling people with T-coil equipped hearing aids to use a digital mobile handset.

    I’m very satisfied bij my use of the nokia loopset LPS-4, high quality, but not all phones are compatibel with that. Know I want a new phone and this wireless new product would help me to choose from more models, but, unfortunately, it seems it is not yet available and I have to choose a new model within a few month’s,
    I wonder if this HS-67WL is compatible with other phones, but because Nokia is the only one with this quality good product I certainly buy a nokia phone

    I’m not deaf, I’m bad-hearing but my hearing aids are perfect and in combination with the lps-4 super, in the car or wherever
