8 Telephone use
With a hearing aid you are able to use a phone in a number of ways.
8.1 Normal use
To find the best way to use a telephone or smartphone while wearing
your hearing aids may require practice. One or more of the following
suggestions may be helpful:
1. Hold the telephone towards the ear (close to the hearing aid’s
microphone)
2. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone
in the same position before the hearing aid eliminates the whistling
3. Whistling may also be stopped by holding the telephone slightly away
from the ear

NOTE:
Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care
professional may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.
8.2 Telecoil
Your hearing aids contain a telecoil. The Telecoil programme may help
to improve speech understanding with Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC)
telephones and in theaters, cinemas, houses of worship etc. that have a
hearing loop installed.
When you switch on the Telecoil programme, your hearing aids pick up
signals from the hearing loop or HAC telephone.
Your hearing care professional can activate the Telecoil programme.

NOTE:
The telecoil cannot work without a hearing loop
(aka induction-loop) or a HAC telephone.
NOTE:
If you are having trouble hearing with the hearing loop, ask you
hearing care professional to adjust the programme.
