2. Conversation with another person
Sit with someone else in a quiet room. Face each other so you can read facial expressions
easily. You may experience new speech sounds, which can seem a little disturbing in the
beginning. However, after the brain has adapted to the new speech sounds, you should
hear speech clearer.
3. Listen to radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since
they usually speak clearly, then try other programs.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system and other available accessories.
4. In group conversations
Group situations are usually accompanied by a greater degree of background noise, and
are, therefore, naturally more difficult to cope with. In such situations, therefore, focus your
attention on the person you want to hear. If you miss a word, ask the speaker to repeat.

5. Telecoil use in church, theatre or cinema
An increasing number of churches, theatres and public buildings often have loop systems
installed. These systems send out wireless sound to be received by the telecoil in your
hearing instrument. Typically, a sign will let you know whether the place has a telecoil.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for details.
6. Using the telephone
When using the telephone, tilt the receiver edge lightly on your
cheek-bone and position the phone slightly over the ear close
to the hearing instruments microphone. The sound then flows
directly into the hearing instruments microphone opening.
This way, the hearing instruments will not whistle and you
ensure the best conditions to understand the conversation.
When you have the receiver in this position, remember to
speak directly into the mouthpiece of the telephone in
order to ensure good understanding on the other "end of
the line".
If you find it difficult to use the telephone, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system and other available accessories.
