Hearing aid compatibility
Relation 2 is an HAC telephone, which means it is Hearing Aid Compatible.
It is designed with the hearing-impaired user in mind although it works well
for anyone who wants exceptionally clear sound reception.
Relation 2 has a built-in teleloop in the handset and works with hearing aids
with a telecoil programme (programme T). When you set the hearing aid
to programme T (telecoil), the hearing aid’s microphone is switched off and
background noise is automatically excluded.
When your hearing aid is set to programme M (microphone), it is important
to hold the handset close to the hearing aid’s microphone (please note
that background noise will not be excluded when the hearing aid is set to
programme M). To avoid feedback, you might need to turn the handset a
little.
Some hearing instruments are also equipped with an MT programme, which
means that the microphone and the telecoil can be used at the same time.
Various types of assistive listening devices such as FM transmitters can be
connected using the headphone port.
Autodetect function
The telephone handset is equipped with a permanent magnet for the
autodetect function of hearing aids. If the hearing aid is equipped with the
autodetect function it will automatically switch to telephone mode if the
hearing aid comes in close proximity to the handset speaker.
