Connecting to Telephones

There are a variety of ways for you to use your telephone.

Using the Telephone Receiver

• Place the telephone receiver directly over your processor microphone.

Using the Built-in Telecoil or Auria T-Coil

• The built-in telecoil or Auria T-Coil will allow you to pick-up the electromagnetic
fi eld from the telephone. To use the telecoil/T-Coil most effectively, you must
ensure that you are using a telecoil/T-Coil compatible telephone. Consult
with your audiologist to determine which program will provide you with the
most benefi t. Remember that your telecoil/T-Coil needs to be programmed by
your audiologist.
• When using the telecoil/T-Coil, you may need to orient the telephone receiver
over the processor in various areas to determine which location provides you
with the optimal signal reception.

Using the T-Mic

The T-Mic is an earhook option that places a microphone at the opening of your
ear. To use the telephone with your T-Mic, simply hold the receiver of the telephone
directly over the opening of your ear.

Using Direct Audio Input

If your telephone contains an audio jack, you may be able to directly interface your
processor with the telephone. Doing so will require the use of your Direct Connect
Earhook, Direct Connect Cable and an interface cable. You will need to consult
with your audiologist to determine which program is most appropriate for you when
directly interfacing with the telephone. Should you need assistance selecting an
appropriate patch cable, please contact your audiologist or AB for assistance.
Alternatively, if your telephone contains an audio jack that can be used with
headphones, your T-Mic may be a more suitable option for you. To connect, insert
the headphones into the audio jack on the telephone and place the headphones
directly over your T-Mic.
