Using the telephone
As telephones do not all work the same, you
may experience different results from different
phones. You can use many phones by simply
holding the receiver to your ear, without the
need to change to a dedicated telephone
program on your hearing aid. Remember to
move the handset slightly up or back to find the
position that sounds best to you.
Depending on the phone type you use, your
hearing healthcare professional might have
selected a dedicated phone program on your
hearing aids. Therefore your hearing aid may
have an automatic telephone program (easy-t
feature), which automatically switches you to a
dedicated telephone program when your hearing
aid is close to a telephone receiver. You will
hear a short melody to indicate you are in the
telephone (easy-t) program.
When the receiver is moved away from the
hearing aid it will automatically return to the
previous listening program. If the hearing aid
does not switch to the telephone program
automatically when the telephone receiver
is placed in proximity, the magnet for easy-t
hearing aids should be attached to the
telephone receiver. The magnet is designed to
strengthen the magnetic field at the ear piece of
hearing aid compatible telephones.
To affix the optional easy-t magnet:
1. Clean the telephone receiver.
Hold the magnet near
the “listening end” of your
telephone receiver and release
it. The magnet will flip to the
appropriate side and seek the optimal
position on the telephone receiver.
2. Place the double-sided tape
in this optimal position on the
telephone receiver.
