T-program
Your hearing instrument has a built in function, the telecoil, enabling
in many cases an improved use of the telephone and better hearing
in those churches or halls where an induction loop system is installed.
In order to activate this function, the telecoil program has to be
selected (often available in program 2). In this program you will hear
no sounds from the microphone, therefore most environmental
sounds will be lost. If you wish, your hearing care practitioner can
change the setting in such a way that you hear the microphone and
the telecoil simultaneously.
Using the telephone
• Switch your instrument to the tele
-
coil program.
• Hold your telephone handset be
-
hind your ear, close to the hearing
instrument (2-3 cm.) and slightly
tilt the receiver outwards.
• Listen to the dialing tone and
move the handset a little to find
the position that gives the best
reception.
• If needed, turn the volume up or down.
• After completing the phone call, switch your instrument back to
the microphone program.
If the phone used has poor telecoil signal, use the microphone
program. Do not hold the handset too tightly against your ear since
this might cause ’whistling’.
