Using the Telephone While Wearing your Hearing System

Close proximity to a telephone can sometimes cause hearing in-

struments to make a squealing sound, also known as feedback. 

To reduce the potential for this problem, your system is equipped 

with a feedback management system, which greatly reduces the 

chance of feedback. Further measures to avoid feedback include 

position ing  the  phone  close  to  the  hearing  instrument,  but  not 

directly on the instrument. If there is feedback, it may take a few 

seconds  for  the  instrument’s  signal  processing  to  adapt.  This 

technique may require practice.

The Telecoil Feature 

Your hearing system has a built-in telecoil, and your hearing healthcare professional may 

have programmed one of your listening programs to take advantage of it. When a telecoil 

is activated, the hearing instrument will only detect and process sounds from coming 

from the telephone.
To activate the telecoil you will need to use the memory selector to activate the appro-

priate memory.

To use the telephone while the telecoil is activated, position the telephone near, but not 

directly on the instrument. You may need to re-position to find the best reception.

Cellular Phone and Hearing Instrument Compatibility

Hearing instrument performance with cellular phones may vary based on the individual 

hearing system or the cell phone being used. If your hearing system and cell phone are 

not compatible you may experience a buzzing or clicking noise while using the two in 

conjunction. If this is the case with your current hearing system and cell phone, consult 

with your hearing healthcare professional to see if there are options to improve the sound 

quality

Measures you can take to prevent this situation:

•  When purchasing a hearing system, be sure to test it with your existing phone to  

determine compatibility.

•  When shopping for a new cell phone, be sure to test it with your hearing system  

before purchasing.

For additional guidance, please consult your cell phone provider.
