7. Wireless and mobile phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of
International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However not all mobile phones are hearing
instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of
your particular mobile phone.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your mobile telephone, ask your
Hearing Care Professional for more information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system*
and other available accessories.
Use your hearing instruments all day long
The best way to ensure better hearing is to practice listening until you can wear your
hearing instruments comfortably all day. In most cases, infrequent use of a hearing
instrument does not give you the full benefit. In most cases, you will not get the full
benefit of the hearing instuments if you use them infrequently.
Your hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing. Nor will they prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting from a physiological condition. What they will
give you, however, is help towards making better use of the hearing ability that you have.
If you have two hearing instruments always wear both.
The most important benefits of wearing two hearing instruments are:
• Your ability to localize sounds will improve.
• It will be easier to understand speech in noisy surroundings.
• You will experience a fuller, more comfortable sound picture.
*Not available for CIC and MIC instruments.
