T-program
Your hearing instrument has a built in function, the telecoil,
enabling in many cases an improved use of the telephone and better
hearing in those churches or halls where an induction loop system
is installed.
In order to activate this function, the telecoil program has to be
selected (often available in program 2). In this program you 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
microphone and the telecoil simultaneously.
Using the telephone.
• Switch your instrument to the telecoil program.
• Hold your telephone handset behind your ear, close to the
hearing instrument (2- 3 cm.) and
slightly tilt the receiver outwards.
• Listen to the dialing 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 program.
If the phone used has poor telecoil signal, use the microphone
program. Do not hold the handset too tightly against your ear
since this might cause 'whistling'.
