5. Telecoil use in church, theatre or cinema
An increasing number of churches, theatres and public buildings often have loop systems
installed. These systems send out wireless sound to be received by the telecoil in your
hearing instrument. Typically, a sign will let you know whether the place has a telecoil.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for details.
6. Using the telephone
When using the telephone, tilt the receiver edge lightly on your cheek-
bone and position the phone slightly over the ear close to the hear-
ing instrument's microphone. The sound then flows directly into
the hearing instrument's microphone opening. This way, the
hearing instruments will not whistle and you ensure the best
conditions to understand the conversation. When you have
the receiver in this position, remember to speak directly into
the mouthpiece on the telephone in order to ensure good
understanding on the other "end of the line".
