Conversation with another person
2.
Sit with someone else in a quiet room. Face each other so you can read facial expres-
sions easily. You may experience new speech sounds, which can seem a little disturbing
in the beginning. However, after the brain has adapted to the new speech sounds, you
should hear speech more clearly.
Listen to radio or TV
3.
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since
they usually speak clearly, then try other TV programs.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your Hearing Care Professional should be
able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities
for TV and radio.
In group conversations
4.
Group situations are usually accompanied by a greater degree of background noise, and
are, therefore, naturally more difficult to cope with. In such situations, therefore, focus
your attention on the person you want to hear. If you miss a word, ask the speaker to repeat.
Telecoil use in church, theater, or cinema
5.
An increasing number of churches, theaters and public buildings often have loop
systems installed. These systems send out wireless sound to be received by the telecoil
in your hearing instrument. Typically, there are posted signs at these places, informing
the public that a telecoil is available. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for details.
Using the telephone
6.
When using the telephone tilt the receiver edge lightly on your
cheek-bone in order to let the sound flow directly into the hearing
instrument microphone opening. This way, the hearing instru-
ment will not whistle and you ensure the best conditions to
understand the conversation. When you have the receiver in
this position, remember to speak directly into the micro-
phone on the telephone in order to ensure good under-
standing on the opposite “end of the line”.
If your hearing instrument has a telecoil you can switch into telecoil program in order to
improve the sound reception further.
