features for the hearing impaired
using your phone with a hearing aid
For best results use the following optimization procedures and handset setting. They generally apply as well for users with cochlear implants:
optimize your handset position and orientation
While in a phone call slide your phone up and down, then left and right until best microphone coupling is obtained. You also
may need to adjust your hearing aid (HA) volume setting.
If your HA has a telecoil, activate its switch, then also rotate the handset as illustrated to align the telecoils.
Note: Some automatically switched hearing aids may need an auxiliary switching magnet.
If you are unsure whether your HA is telecoil equipped or needs an auxiliary magnet, please refer to your HA user guide or contact a hearing aid professional or supplier.
