6. Telecoil – Hearing aid compatibility
Normally, a hearing aid "listens" with its microphone, then amplifies what it "hears". But with a telecoil used as
the input source instead of (or in addition to) the microphone, the hearing aid can "hear" a magnetic signal
which represents sound.
On telecoil-equipped hearing aids and CIs, the wearer must "turn on" or "switch to" telecoil mode by moving a
small switch (on older models) to the "T" position, or by changing to a program mode (by pressing a button on
the ear-level device or on a remote control) that is set up to use the telecoil as an input source instead of or in
addition to the microphones. Some users prefer a mode that only uses the telecoil and not the microphones
when they are in telecoil mode, and other users prefer a combination of telecoil and microphones. There is no
right way for everyone but there may be a best way for each person.
Automatic telecoils have become available on some hearing aids and CIs more recently. So far, only a few of
these will work when using a neck
loop or a room loop, and they may even be intermittent in their recognition
