Using the Telephone
Your miniBTE has a telecoil
option that has the ability to pick
up only the sounds coming from
a hearing aid-compatible telephone.
Your hearing healthcare provider
can program your hearing aid to take
advantage of this option. Refer to the
chart on the inside cover of this
User Guide to determine the
program that uses the telecoil
feature. When you have moved to
the telecoil/telephone program, place the telephone
handset lightly against your ear. Adjust the handset
slightly up and/or back to find the position that gives
the best sound.
Your hearing aid may have an Auto Telephone feature,
which automatically switches to the Telephone program
when a phone is placed next to your hearing aid. If the
Auto Telephone feature does not automatically engage,
the magnetic field in your phone may not be strong
enough. A small magnet was included with your hearing
aid. Place the magnet on your phone, as shown in the
instructions included with the magnet, to improve the
Auto Telephone switching.
If your hearing aid has been configured without a
telecoil option, select the program that is best for you
when using the telephone. Then position the phone
lightly against your ear as described above.
