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, focus your
attention on the person you want to hear. If you miss a word, ask the speaker to repeat.
5. Telecoil use in church, theatre, or cinema
An increasing number of churches, theatres and public buildings often have loop systems
installed. These systems send out wireless sound to be received by the telecoil in your
hearing instrument. Typically, a sign will let you know whether the place has a loop
system. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for details.
6. Using the telephone
When using the telephone tilt the receiver edge lightly on your cheek-
bone and position the phone slightly over the ear close to the hearing
instrument’s microphone. The sound then flows directly into the
hearing instrument’s microphone opening. This way, the hearing
instrument will not whistle, and you ensure the best conditions to
understand the conversation. When you have the receiver in this
position, remember to speak directly into the mouthpiece on the
telephone in order to ensure good understanding on the other
“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.
If your hearing instrument has a telecoil (and your telephone has a built in tele loop) you
can switch into telecoil program in order to improve the sound reception further.
