USING THE TELEPHONE
Your hearing aid may be equipped with a telecoil for use with compatible
telephones.
All corded telephones should be compatible with telecoils. Cordless
phones may or may not be compatible. Please check the specification
supplied by the manufacturer to check for compatibility. Few cellular
phones are compatible with telecoils. Please check the specifications
supplied by the manufacturer to check for compatibility or contact the
manufacturer. Tcoil compatible phones have a T3 or T4 rating.
MICROPHONE MEMORY
When the memory button is in the Microphone Memory position, you
may use the telephone in a normal manner. If you experience a whistling
sound (feedback), tilt the telephone receiver away from your ear and/
or reduce the volume until the whistling stops, or switch the instrument
into the telecoil memory. By placing the telephone receiver in various
positions, you will discover what works best for you.
TELECOIL MEMORY
By pushing the memory button to the telecoil memory, the telecoil circuit is
activated and the microphone is turned off to improve your hearing when
using the telephone. Place the telephone receiver close to the hearing aid
for best reception. Try holding the telephone receiver in various positions
to discover the position where the telephone signal is the strongest. In
some cases, you may need to increase the volume of your hearing aid
while in the telecoil memory.
SWITCHLESS TELECOIL
A switchless telecoil option may allow you to use the telephone in a
normal manner. There is a switchless telecoil magnet accessory available
for your telephone that can be used with the switchless telecoil feature
of your hearing aid. Ask your hearing health professional about this
accessory and if it is right for your individual listening needs.
