telephone use
Finding the optimal position for holding a tele phone may require practice for some individuals,
and one or more of the following suggestions may be helpful.
1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.
2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the microphones are).
3. If whistling occurs, holding the tele phone in the same position may help the hearing instru-
ment to adapt.

4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone
slightly away from the ear.
5. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care profes-
sional may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.
