Telephoning with your hearing instrument
There are two different methods for telephoning while wearing your hearing instrument:
1.Using the normal hearing program: The sound from the telephone receiver is absorbed directly by the microphone of your hearing instrument. Hold the receiver approx.
2.Inductive telephoning by means of the telecoil: This is only possible if your hearing instru- ment is fitted with a telecoil and program button.
If this is the case, then follow these instructions:
Using the telecoil
In order to use the telecoil for telephone conversations the telephone itself must emit an adequate magnetic field for the hearing instrument. In most cases, it is the older telephones which fulfil this requirement.
Press the program button to switch to the special telecoil program. Then place the telephone receiver against your ear and listen for the position with the loudest transmission.
Note: Most of the modern telephones, particularly cordless telephones and mobile phones, do NOT emit a magnetic field. When phoning from these appliances, you should use the normal hearing programs.
