Hearing on the Telephone
· Hold the receiver close to the microphone
inlet of your hearing instrument. If this causes
whistling, move the receiver away a small
distance.
· If voices over the telephone are too soft or
background noise is a problem, use the telecoil
(if your instrument has this option). Be aware
that not all phones are telecoil compatible.
· Mobile phones may cause interference with the
telecoil. In this case, the microphone mode will
give a better result.
· Before purchasing a mobile phone, test it with
your hearing instrument.
· People with a greater degree of hearing loss
may need a volume control on the telephone.
