If Your Hearing Aid Is Equipped With a Telecoil
Activate the telecoil setting for your behind the ear
hearing aid (BTE). Once the telecoil is activated,
your hearing aid will be adjusted for optimum
handset use. When the telecoil is active, the
microphone is inactive, eliminating any chance of
feedback (squeal). The handset is inductively
coupled directly to your hearing aid, enabling clear,
feedback-free telephone usage.
Note:
If you are unsure whether your hearing aid
is equipped with a telecoil, please ask
your hearing care professional or refer to
your hearing aid user guide.
