5. Telecoil use in church, theatre, or cinema 

An increasing number of churches, theatres and  public buildings often have loop systems 

installed. These systems send out wireless sound to be received by the telecoil in your 

hearing instrument. Typically, a sign will let you know whether the place has a  loop 

system. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for details.

6. Using the telephone

When using the telephone tilt the receiver edge lightly on your 

cheek-bone and position the phone slightly over the ear close 

to the hearing instrument’s microphone. The sound then flows 

directly into the hearing instrument’s microphone opening.  

This way, the hearing instrument will not whistle and you 

ensure the best conditions to understand the conversation. 

When you have the receiver in this position, remember to 

speak directly into the microphone on the telephone in 

order to ensure good understanding in the opposite “end 

of the line”.

If you find it difficult to use the telephone, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more 

information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system* and other available accessories.

If your hearing instrument has a telecoil (and your telephone has a built in tele-loop)  

you can switch into telecoil program in order to improve the sound reception  further.

Remember that the telecoil in hearing instrument may pick up disturbing signals from 

electronic devices, such as a fax machines, computers, televisions or similar. Make sure 

that the hearing instrument has a distance of 2–3 meters to such devices when using  

the telecoil  program.

7. Wireless and mobile phones

Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of 

International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However not all mobile phones are hearing 

instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of 

your particular mobile phone. 

If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your mobile telephone, ask your 

Hearing Care Professional for more information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine 

system* and other available accessories.
