4. In group conversations
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.
5. Using the telephone
When using the telephone tilt the receiver edge lightly on your
cheek-bone and position the phone slightly over the ear close to
the hearing instrument’s microphone. The sound then flows directly
into the hearing instrument’s microphone opening. This way, the
hearing instruments 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
mouthpiece on the telephone in order to ensure good under-
standing on the other “end of the line”.
If you find it difficult to use the telephone, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system and other available accessories.
2. Conversation with another person
Sit with someone else in a quiet room. Face each other so you can read facial expressions
easily. You may notice new speech sounds, which can seem a little different in the
beginning. However, after the brain has adapted to the new speech sounds, you should
hear speech clearer.
3. Listen to radio or TV
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, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system and other available accessories.
