Assistive Listening Devices

Listening in Public Places

Conversa.NT’s optional telecoil can also help you listen in
public places equipped with telecoil compatible assistive
listening devices such as a loop system. If your hearing
instruments do not operate when the telecoil is on, the
loop system may not be operating or you may be in a
“dead” spot. Try positioning yourself in a different part of
the looped area or return your hearing instruments to the
microphone position and sit as close to the speaker as
possible.

Connecting to External Audio Sources

Your Conversa.NT hearing instruments
may feature optional direct audio input
(DAI) to connect to other audio sources
such as a stereo or television. You will
need to purchase the direct audio input
system and a connector cord from your
hearing healthcare professional before you can connect
to external audio sources.

DAI can also be used to fit your hearing instruments with
an assistive listening device, such as a FM system, which
you may purchase to improve listening in difficult
situations.

Note: If your hearing instruments are the small BTE style
that requires size 10 batteries (Moda), your digital
