8.5 Telecoil (optional)
Your hearing aid may be equipped with a telecoil. The Telecoil program may help to improve speech
understanding with Hearing Aid Compatible telephones and in theaters, cinemas, houses of worship etc.
that have tele-loop installed.
The telecoil cannot work without a tele-loop (a.k.a. induction-loop) or a Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC)
telephone. When you switch on the Telecoil program, your hearing aids pick up signals from the tele-loop
or HAC telephone.
i
NOTE: If you are having trouble hearing with the tele-loop, ask you hearing care professional to
adjust the program.
NOTE: If there is no sound from the hearing aids in a tele-loop system and an active Telecoil pro-
gram, the tele-loop system may not be turned on or is not operating correctly.
NOTE: Your hearing care professional will gladly provide information regarding a tele-loop system
at your home. Ask your hearing care professional for more information.

1. Switch your hearing aid to the Telecoil program.

signs or find another spot to sit.
3. If needed, adjust the volume.
