Additional features that can facilitate telephone use,
are described below. Consult your hearing healthcare
professional to identify which options are available in
your hearing instrument and are most appropriate for
your needs.
Telecoil program
Your ReSound hearing instrument is equipped with a
telecoil which picks up magnetic signals from a Hear-
ing Aid Compatible telephone. You can access the
telecoilprogrambyusingtheprogramselector.When
you do so, the hearing instrument will pick up sounds
coming from the telephone without creating feedback.
While using the telecoil program, the receiver of the
telephone should be held as shown in the diagram un-
der “Telephone Use.” You may need to reposition the
telephone handset slightly to find the best reception.
Acoustic phone program
An acoustic phone program is a listening program
that is specially designed for telephone use. It works
in combination with the digital feedback suppression
system and does not utilize a telecoil. You can access
it by using the program selector to choose the acous-
tic phone program.
Once the program is selected, hold the telephone
close to the microphone of the hearing instrument.
You may need to reposition the telephone handset
slightly to find the best reception.

Telephone use may require some practice in order to
maximize your performance. Experimenting with vari-
ous hearing instrument features and proper positioning
of the telephone will
help you optimize
the signal you hear
on the telephone.
All ReSound hear-
ing instruments
are equipped with
an adaptive digital
feedback suppres-
sion system that is
designed to reduce
whistling (feedback)
when an object, such as a telephone, is placed close
toyourhearinginstrument.Whenusingthetelephone,
we recommend that you hold it close to the micro-
phone of the hearing instrument without laying it di-
rectly on the hearing instrument. If feedback occurs,
hold the telephone still as the digital feedback sup-
pression system adapts to suppress the whistle.
