Telephoning with your hearing instrument
There are two different methods for telephoning while
wearing your hearing instrument:
1. Using the normal hearing program: The sound from the
telephone receiver is absorbed directly by the microphone
of your hearing instrument. Hold the receiver approx. 1-2 cm
away from your ear. It is not necessary to change the
program.
2. Inductive telephoning by means
of the telecoil: This is only
possible if your hearing instru-
ment is fitted with a telecoil
and program button.
If this is the case, then follow
these instructions:
Using the telecoil
In order to use the telecoil for telephone conversations
the telephone itself must emit an adequate magnetic field
for the hearing instrument. In most cases, it is the older
telephones which fulfil this requirement.
Press the program button to switch to the special telecoil
program. Then place the telephone receiver against your
ear and listen for the position with the loudest transmission.
Note: Most of the modern telephones, particularly cordless
telephones and mobile phones, do NOT emit a magnetic
field. When phoning from these appliances, you should use
the normal hearing programs.

Visit public events
At lectures or in church find a place as close as possible to
the speaker. Also choose a place at the front in theaters and
concert halls. Avoid niches, boxes and places behind pillars.
