In addition, Element contains technology that identifies
and minimizes sudden impulse sounds that many
hearing device wearers find irritatingly loud such as
slamming doors or clattering dishes. This technology is
designed to increase listening comfort in adverse
listening situations without impacting sound quality or
your ability to understand conversations.
Using Element
™
with the Telephone
Element has the ability, depending on hearing loss, vent
size and style of hearing device to provide feedback-free
phone use without program changes. For many wearers
this means, when the phone rings, all you have to do is
pick up the telephone and hold it to your ear normally. In
some situations when using a cell phone, you may
experience digital interference that sounds like static,
buzzing or beeping. If you experience interference,
increase the distance between your hearing instrument
and the phone receiver.
Easy-t for the Telephone or Cell/Mobile Phone
Element can also come equipped with an optional easy-t
(automatic telephone switch) that can help you listen on
the telephone. Easy-t automatically switches your hearing
instrument into a telephone listening mode with hearing
instrument compatible phones. You will hear a short
melody to indicate you are in the telephone (easy-t)
program. If your phone is hearing instrument compatible,
it will have a magnetic coil and easy-t will activate
