Telephone Tips

Be patient. Remember that phone use takes practice and will improve over time.
•
Practice listening with familiar speakers, such as family members, friends, your therapist, or
•
hearing care professional.
It may be helpful to become familiar with the topic of discussion ahead of time. For example,
•
tell your friend to call you at a specific time to talk about a specific topic (e.g., Call me at 6:00
p.m. to talk about going to the movies).
You may need to practice with several telephones to find one that is right.
•
When selecting a cellular phone, remember to try the phone first.

Telecoil

Using the Built-in Telecoil
Telecoils provide wireless access to hearing-aid-compatible telephones and induction-loop
systems (found in some public facilities). Telecoils capture electromagnetic fields in the
environment and deliver these signals to your processor. A telecoil is built into your processor
and is programmed by a hearing care professional. To activate your telecoil, first consult with
the hearing care professional to determine if a program in your processor has been created for
its use. If so, the telecoil will activate once the processor is switched to the designated program.
For your telecoil to be effective, the recipient must have access to a looped system or a hearing
aid-compatible phone. This will allow the telecoil to receive the electromagnetic field generated
by these devices. If the recipient is attempting to use the telecoil with a non-compatible audio
device, no sound or a low-level humming or buzzing noise may be heard.
