If your hearing instrument has a telecoil (and your telephone has a built in tele-loop)
you can switch into telecoil program in order to improve the sound reception further.
Remember that the telecoil in your hearing instruments may pick up unwanted signals
from electronic devices, such as fax machines, computers, televisions or similar. Make
sure that the hearing instrument has a distance of 6-10 feet from such devices when
using the telecoil program.
7. Wireless and cell 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 cell phone.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cell telephone, ask your
Hearing Care Professional for more information regarding the Oticon ConnectLine system
and other available accessories.
Use your hearing instruments all day long
The best way to ensure better hearing is to practice listening until you can wear your
hearing instruments comfortably all day. In most cases, you will not get the full benefit
of the hearing instuments if you use them infrequently.
Your hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing. Nor will they prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting from a physiological condition. What they will
give you, however, is help towards making better use of the hearing ability that you have.
If you have two hearing instruments, always wear both.
These are the most important benefits of wearing two hearing instruments:
• Your ability to localize sounds will improve.
• It will be easier to understand speech in noisy surroundings.
• You will experience a fuller, more comfortable sound picture.
