Telephone use
Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone may require practice for some
individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may be helpful.
1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.
2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the microphones
are).
3. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone in the
same position before the hearing instrument eliminates the feedback.
4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from
the ear.
5. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate
a programme specifically for telephone use.
