5.7 ITE hearing instruments
This procedure applies to any type of custom hearing instruments, including ITE (In The Ear), ITC (In The Canal), CIC (Com-
pletely In the Canal).
Using the HA-1 ITE adapter
5.8 Telecoil testing
1. Position the hearing instrument in AURICALHIT as described in Traditional BTE hearing instruments ► 11, Thin-
tube hearing instruments ► 12 or ITE hearing instruments ► 13, so that the maximum field strength will be
achieved for the hearing instrument.
During telecoil testing AURICALHIT automatically detects the orientation of the hearing instrument.
2. Enable telecoil mode in the hearing instrument.
3. Close the lid and start testing.
5.9 Hearing instruments with wireless transmitters (e.g. FM)
When you test hearing instruments with wireless sound transmission, it is sometimes necessary to separate the input
device (transmitter) from the output device (receiver).
• To do so, place the transmitter in AURICALHIT and the receiver on the coupler microphone in the Accessory Box.
• To set up the Accessory Box, see The coupler assembly ► 6.
