8 Telephone use
Your hearing aid allows you to use the telephone as you ordinarily do. Finding the optimal position for
holding a telephone may require practice. One or more of the following suggestions may be helpful:
1. Hold the telephone up to your ear.
2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the
microphones are).
3. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone in
the same position before the hearing aid eliminates the feedback.
4. Whistling may stop by holding the telephone slightly away from the ear.

NOTE: Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care profes-
sional may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.
