Assistive Listening Devices

Listening in Public Places

Moxi’s telecoil can also help you listen in public places
equipped with telecoil compatible assistive listening
devices such as a loop system. If your hearing devices
do not operate when the telecoil is on, the loop system
may not be operating or you may be in a “dead” spot.
Try positioning yourself in a different part of the looped
area or return your hearing devices to the microphone
position and sit as close to the speaker as possible.
