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 aids. 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. Your hearing aids may have an
automatic telephone program (easy-t feature),
which automatically switches to a dedicated
telephone program when a telephone receiver
is brought close to one of your hearing aids. 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 DuoLink is
enabled on your hearing aids for the automatic
telephone program, both hearing aids are
synchronized and the listening program for
the opposite ear will also change when the
automatic telephone program is activated.
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.
