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.

Features for the Hearing Impaired

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 contact your HA user guide, professional or supplier.

Approximate telecoil location is within 6-13 mm of this location.

Off - Shut off

M - Microphone

T - Telecoil

Approximate telecoil location is just above the battery.

Optimize Your Handset Antenna Position

Your phone’s rating for HA compatibility is determined with the antenna extended if it has an extendable antenna. However acceptable use might occur with the antenna retracted. Test your handset in both antenna positions when the handset is in the optimum orientation.
