Telephone Use; Using Loop Systems - ReSound CP1BW-V User Manual

Telephone use

Some experimentation is required when using a telecoil
enabled telephone with your hearing instrument.
To activate the telephone programme, select programme
2 or 3 (models CP1PBW-V, CP2BW-V or CP2BW-PV) or
programme 3 (model CP3BW).
This option is not available with the CP1BW-V model.
This feature can only be
used with telecoil (hearing
aid) compatible tele phones.
Place the receiver of the
telephone over the hearing
instrument, not the ear. (see
illustration).
It is recommended that you
reposition the receiver of the
telephone and the hearing
instrument until you get the loudest and clearest signal.

Using loop systems

Many public places, such as churches, theatres and cin-
emas, have induction loop systems set up in them. Homes
can also have radios or televisions that are connected to
an induction loop system. When an induction loop is used,
sound is transmitted directly to the telecoil of the hearing
instrument. The advantage to using a telecoil is that sound
quality through an induction loop is often better because
noise from the environment is not amplified. To set up your
hearing instrument to be used with a loop system:
1. Set the hearing instrument program to the telecoil set-
ting.
2. Hearing reception might be better in certain parts of the
room than others. If you are having difficulty hearing, try
moving to a different location, within the room, to see if
this improves your hearing reception.
3. Increase or decrease the volume on your hearing instru-
ment as necessary.
4. After you are done listening through the induction loop,
set the hearing instrument back to program 1, which is
the standard program.
• If the sound in the telecoil programme is consistently too
soft or too loud, ask your hearing care practitioner to ad-
just the program accordingly.
• Your hearing care practitioner can provide you with
advice regarding installing an induction loop system at
home. Ask for additional information if necessary.
