It worked well for me. I used a phonak Microlink; the closest thing now to what I had is probably the Phonak Campus-S.

It belonged to the school (or rather, a consortium of local school districts), so I wasn't technically allowed to bring it home ... but I did now and then anyway.

My one bit of advice: if the microphone is on the end of a cord (like on the Campus-S) rather than integrated into the transmitter (like the Smartlink and the Oticon Lexis), make sure you ask for one or two spares, as they fail easily. Even if it didn't look broken, that was the first thing I always checked after making sure the battery was charged, and 9 times out of 10, replacing that cable fixed the problem.
