Hearing through an induction loop

Many public places, churches, theatres and cinemas, have

induction loop systems. In these particular rooms, the in-

duction loops transmit, wirelessly, the sound of the presenter

or show. At home, radio or television can be connected to an

induction loop system. Sound quality through an induction

loop is often better because noise from the environment is not

amplied.

• Switch your instrument to the telecoil programme.

• Choose a good location. Reception is not clear in all locati-

ons; it depends on the position of the induction loop. Watch

for signs or try a different seat yourself.

• If necessary, adjust the volume up or down.

• After the service or show, switch your instrument back to

your standard programme. You will now hear through the mi-

crophone again.

• If the sound in the telecoil programme is in general very soft

or very loud, ask your hearing care practitioner to adjust the

program accordingly.

• Your hearing care practitioner will gladly provide you with

advice regarding an induction loop system at home. Ask for

it.

Direct Audio Input (DAI)

The ReSound Essence models all offer you the possibility of di-

rect, uninterrupted connection to external devices such as tele-

vision, radio and remote microphone via the Direct Audio Input

socket. Often, this will improve sound quality.

ES70 ThinTube, ES70-VI, ES70-DVI, ES80-VI & ES80-DVI

• The sound source is connected to your instrument with a

cable or a wireless FM system to the audio shoe. The audio

shoe will connect with a “click” to the hearing instrument but

needs to be switched manually to Direct Audio Input via the

programme selector.
