Tek Wireless Enhancement User Manual or ask your Hearing Care
Professional.
Adjusting the volume
Your hearing instruments automatically adjust the volume to the
listening situation.
If you prefer manual volume adjustment, press the push button
or the rocker switch, or use a remote control.
An optional signal can indicate the volume change.
Further adjustments (optional)
The controls of your hearing instruments can also be used
to change the sound balance or the tinnitus noiser level.
Sound balance allows you to adjust the bass or treble to your
preferences.
Directional microphone system
According to your hearing needs, your Siemens hearing
instrument may be adjusted to focus on sounds in front of
you (directional mode) for when you are having a face-to-face
conversation in a noisy environment or behind you when the
speech you wish to hear is coming from the back, such as in a
car. The hearing system may also be adjusted for when you are
in more quiet environments and want to hear the sounds around
you (omnidirectional). Your Hearing Care Professional may
program the operation of the directional microphone system
to function automatically or in conjunction with the program
button or remote control based on your particular hearing
requirements.
Telecoil
Your Siemens Hearing instrument may be equipped with a telecoil
for telephone use. It may be programmed to work in a specific
listening program in conjunction with the program button. In the
telecoil mode, place the telephone receiver close to your hearing
instrument for best reception. By trying various positions of the
telephone receiver, you will discover what works best for you.
Your Hearing Care Professional can advise you on the proper use
of the Telecoil.
Note: In order for the telecoil to function properly, your telephone
must be “hearing aid compatible”. Check your telephone’s
instruction manual to find out whether your phone has
this capability.
AutoPhone
®
The AutoPhone® option allows the telecoil to automatically
engage when a “hearing aid compatible” telephone handset is
brought close to the hearing instrument. To operate, bring the
telephone handset close to the hearing instrument. The telecoil
will automatically engage to the presence of the electromagnetic
signal from the telephone. When you are finished speaking on the
phone, move the handset away from the hearing instrument and
the microphone mode will re-establish itself.
AutoPhone magnet accessory
There is an AutoPhone magnet accessory available for your
telephone that can be used with the AutoPhone feature of your
hearing instrument. Ask your Hearing Care Professional about this
accessory and if it is appropriate for your individual hearing care
needs.
You must use the original magnet provided with your hearing
instrument. Using other magnets may cause irreversible damage
to the electronics of your hearing instrument.
