Your tmic is same like what we have with Cochlear, yours is a little down in the ear, that's the only difference, it's a microphone, we have 2 with Cochlear, it's a little up, no difference, it does not means your tmic is better, nothing special about it, per my drs and several audis that I consulted with, it's just a regular microphone, I use the cell phone on my processor directly without changing to tcoil or needing a tmic or anything
The direct connect has an advantage is that it will block out all the outside noise if you want
