By selecting the telecoil programme you can improve understanding of
speech when using a hearing instrument compatible telephone. Rather
than picking up the sound from the telephone, this programme only
picks up the telephone's magnetic signal and converts it to sound.
Your hearing care professional can activate the telecoil, if your device
has the optional telecoil available.
When using the telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone
should be held as shown in the drawing. You may need to move the
handset around slightly to find the best reception.
If you do not wish to have a telecoil programme, you may still use the
phone while using your hearing instrument. Hold the phone close to
the front microphone of the hearing instrument, but not directly on it.
If it whistles, it may take a few seconds for the instrument to adapt.
If the whistling continues, move the telephone 2-3 cm away from
your ear. Some hearing instruments also have an acoustic telephone
program. This program might decrease problems with acoustic feed-
back when using the telephone
Cellular phone
If you use a cellular phone you may experience a buzzing or clicking
noise. This is caused by the strong signal of the cellular phone.
To solve the problem it is possible to connect a headset to your
hearing instrument (hands-free telephone solution).
