What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Mino is a pocket-sized personal sound amplifier that boosts incoming audio — voices in conversation, TV dialogue, or speakers in a group setting — through an earbud or headphones you wear. It's designed for someone who struggles to follow speech in everyday situations but isn't using (or doesn't yet have) hearing aids, or needs supplemental amplification in specific settings like lectures or noisy restaurants. You get the amplifier unit itself with switchable directional and omnidirectional microphones, and it connects directly to standard earbuds, headphones, or hearing aids via built-in Telecoil — no additional hardware required. This is a personal sound amplification product (PSAP), not a medical hearing aid, so it won't be covered by insurance and isn't a substitute for a professional hearing evaluation if you have significant hearing loss.
