The Ponto Plus needs no operation by the user but will automatically switch to the correct program dedicated the selected audio source.

Personal wireless headphones
When a set of hearing instruments is linked to Oticon Medical Streamer, audio is transmitted directly and securely to one or both Ponto Plus. The Ponto Plus resembles miniature wireless headphones, custom tailored to the user’s hearing loss.
