Remember that the telecoil in hearing instruments
may pick up disturbing signals from electronic
devices, such as a fax machines, computers,
televisions or similar. Make sure that the hearing aid
has a distance of 2 - 3 meters to such devices when
using the telecoil program.
7. Wireless and mobile phones
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply
with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However not all
mobile phones are hearing instrument compatible. Use
the microphone position unless you have a special
loop for your mobile phone. The varying degree of
disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular
mobile phone.

Use your hearing instruments all day long
The best way to ensure better hearing is to practice
listening until you can wear your hearing instruments
comfortably all day. In most cases, you will not get the
full benefit of the hearing instuments if you use them
infrequently.
Your hearing instruments will not restore normal
hearing. Nor will they prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from a physiological condition.
What they will give you, however, is help towards
making better use of the hearing ability that you
have. If you have two hearing instruments always
wear both.
The most important benefits of wearing two
hearing instruments are:
• Your ability to localize sounds will improve.
• It will be easier to understand speech in noisy
surroundings.
• You will experience a fuller, more comfortable
sound picture.
