Using the Telephone while Wearing your SmartAid
Digital Premium
Place the phone up to your ear like you would if you were not wearing the hearing aid.
Do not press the phone against your ear with any force, as this may irritate your ear and
may cause feedback (whistling).
For some people, telephone use can cause feedback. This can be caused from the
severity of hearing loss, the shape of the ear and even the type of telephone. If you get
feedback while talking on the phone, you can try:
- Changing to a different program. See if any of the programs work better than others
on the telephone.
- Pull the phone away from your ear slightly, or angle the phone. Creating a small air
space between the hearing aid and the phone can prevent feedback.
