Telephone use
Finding the optimal position for holding a tele phone may require practice
for some individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may
be helpful.
• Hold the telephone as you would normally.
• Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the
microphones are).
• If whistling occurs, holding the tele phone in the same position may
help the hearing instrument to eliminate the feedback.
• Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly
away from the ear.
• Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional
may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.
Listen to radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since they
usually speak clearly, then try other programmes.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing care professional will be able to give you
advice on available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.
Cellular 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 cellular phone or
of your wireless telephony service provider.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care
professional will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening
capabilities.
