4. In group conversations
Group situations are usually accompanied by a greater degree of background noise, and
are, therefore, naturally more difficult to cope with. In such situations, therefore, focus
your attention on the person you want to hear. If you miss a word, ask the speaker to
repeat.
5. Using the telephone
When using the telephone tilt the receiver edge lightly on your
cheek-bone in order to let the sound flow directly into the hearing
instrument microphone opening. This way, the hearing instrument
will not whistle and you ensure the best conditions to under-
stand the conversation. When you have the receiver in this
position, remember to speak directly into the microphone
on the telephone in order to ensure good understanding
in the opposite “end of the line”.
If you find it difficult to use the telephone, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system and other available accessories.
6. Wireless and cell phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of
International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However not all cell phones are hearing
instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of
your particular cell phone.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cell telephone, ask your
Hearing Care Professional for more information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system
and other available accessories.
