Remember that the telecoil in hearing aids may pick
up disturbing signals from electronic devices, such
as a fax machines, computers, televisions or similar.
Make sure that the hearing aid has a distance of
2 - 3 meters to such devices when using the telecoil
program.
7. Wireless and mobile phones
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply
with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However not all
mobile phones are hearing instrument compatible. Use
the microphone position unless you have a special
loop for your mobile phone. The varying degree of
disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular
mobile phone.
Use your hearing instruments all day long
The best way to ensure better hearing is to practice
listening with your hearing instruments until you
are able to wear them comfortably all day. Generally,
infrequent use of the hearing instrument does not
provide you with the full benefit of amplification.
Your hearing instruments will not restore normal
hearing. Hearing instruments will not prevent
or improve hearing impairment resulting from a
physiological condition. Hearing instruments will
help you to make better use of your residual hearing.
If you have two hearing instruments always wear both.
The most important benefits of wearing two
hearing instruments are:
• Improved ability to localize sounds in the listening
environment.
• Improved speech understanding in the presence of
background noise.
• Improved sound recognition and comfort.
