Dual microphone system - optional
ITC and ITE models can optionally have a directional microphone function, recognisable by a 2nd micro-
phone opening. If you want to listen to a person in a noisy environment, the micro phone in these hearing
instruments can help you to concentrate on the speech. If the microphone is in the directional mode the
background noise will be suppressed. In this mode the sounds in front of you will be enhanced, so you
can better hear the speech of the person you look at. Your hearing care practitioner can programme the
microphone in the required modes.
Depending on your hearing instrument and the setting chosen by you and your hearing care practioner
switching to and from directional mode can be done automatically.
T-Programme
Your hearing instrument may have an optional built-in function, in many cases, enabling an improved use of
the telephone and better hearing in churches or halls where an induction loop system is installed. In order
to activate this function, the telecoil programme has to be selected. In this programme you will hear the
tele-loop transmitted sounds through the telecoil and the environmental sounds through the hearing aid
microphone. If you wish, your hearing care professional can change the settings in such a way that you will
hear no sounds from the microphone, meaning that most environmental sounds will be lost.
