ReSound Vea™ supplement— Custom CIC
You may need to reposition the telephone handset
slightly to find the best reception.
PhoneNow™
The PhoneNow™ function allows your hearing instru-
ment to automatically switch to your tele phone pro-
gram when a telephone receiver is raised to the ear.
When the telephone receiver is removed from the ear,
the hearing instrument automatically returns to the
previous listening program. In most instances, it is
necessary to mount a magnet on the phone in order
to enhance your hearing instrument’s ability to detect
the phone signal.
Placement of PhoneNow magnet
In order to place PhoneNow magnets properly:
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Hold the tele-
phone as you
typically would
when making a
telephone call.
3. Place the mag-
net just below
the sound port
on the telephone receiver. If necessary, move the
magnet to another position to improve ease of use
and comfort while speaking.
NOTE: Only use a recommended cleaning agent
to clean the telephone prior to placing the mag-
net on the phone.
PhoneNow usage
PhoneNow enables those who wear hearing instru-
ment to use telephones in a normal manner. The hear-
maximize your per-
formance. Experi-
menting with various
hearing instrument
features and proper
positioning of the tele-
phone will help you
optimize the signal
you hear on the tele-
phone.
All ReSound hearing instruments are equipped with an
adaptive digital feedback suppression system that is
designed to reduce whistling (feedback) when
an object, such as a telephone, is placed close
to your hearing instrument. When using the tele-
phone, we recommend that you hold it close to the
microphone of the hearing instrument without laying it
directly on the hearing instrument. If feedback occurs,
hold the telephone still as the digital feedback sup-
pression system adapts to suppress the whistle.
Additional features that can facilitate telephone use,
are described below. Consult your hearing healthcare
professional to identify which options are available in
your hearing instrument and are most appropriate for
your needs.
Acoustic phone program
An acoustic phone program is a listening program
that is specially designed for telephone use. It works
in combination with the digital feedback suppression
system and does not utilize a telecoil. You can access
it by using the program selector to choose the acous-
tic phone program.
Once the program is selected, hold the telephone
close to the microphone of the hearing instrument.
