Additional Features
Telecoil (optional)
If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your
hearing care professional and accessed through
one of the additional programs. A telecoil picks up
a telephone’s magnetic signal and converts it to
sound. An optional telephone program may help to
improve speech understanding on the telephone.
When using a telecoil program, the receiver of the telephone may need to
be held closer to the hearing system. The handset of the telephone may
need to be moved to slightly different positions in order to find the best
reception.
Inductive Loop Systems
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are
equipped with inductive loop systems. When using a telecoil program
with inductive loop systems, sound is picked up directly and may improve
speech understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing systems in a
inductive loop system and with a telecoil program activated, the inductive
loop system may not be turned on or is not operating correctly. If a facility
is not equipped with a inductive loop system, sitting as close as possible
to the front may be helpful.
