Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone may
require practice for some individuals, and one or more of
the following suggestions may be helpful.
1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.
2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear
(closer to where the microphones are).
3. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the
telephone in the same position before the hearing instrument adapts.
4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from the ear.
5. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate a
programme specifically for telephone use.
