Directionality

Certain ReSound Essence BTE instruments are equipped with
two microphones and offer directionality. This is a function
designed to help you hear speech better in noisy situations.
This feature works best when the person speaking to you is in
front of you and the noise is behind you. The hearing instrument
actually attempts to reduce noise coming from behind you. Ask
your hearing care professional if you have this option available
on your hearing instrument.

Description of when to use
T-programme (Telecoil programme)
Your hearing instrument has a built in function, the telecoil,
which can enable you to hear better on the telephone and in
churches or halls that have an induction loop system installed
in them. In order to activate this function, the telecoil program-
me has to be selected. In this programme you typically will hear
no sounds from the microphone, therefore most environmental
sounds will be lost. If you wish, your hearing care practitioner
can change the setting in such a way that you hear the micr-
ophone and the telecoil simultaneously.
Using the telephone with induction loop.
• Switch your instrument to the
telecoil programme.
• Hold your telephone handset be-
hind your ear, close to the hearing
instrument (2-3 cm.) and slightly
tilt the receiver outwards.
• Listen to the dial tone and move
the handset a little to find the
position that gives the best reception.
• If needed, turn the volume up or down.
• After completing the phone call, switch your instrument back
to the microphone programme.
If the phone you are using has a poor telecoil signal, use pro-
gramme 1 instead. Do not hold the handset too tightly against
your ear since this might cause 'whistling'.
