Traditional corded phones, cordless phones and cellular phones.
First, try to use the phone as you normally would hold it. If you cannot hear well, move the handset up slightly to find
the position that sounds best to you. If you encounter whistling, tilt the phone handset at an angle until the whistling stops. It may help to turn the volume up on your phone.
Practice using the telephone with someone familiar to you. Try moving the phone around to get the best sound.
Telecoils
Your device contains a telecoil which needs to be activated by your hearing healthcare provider. The telecoil converts
electromagnetic signals directly from the telephone into sound. To use the telecoil, select the appropriate program
setting, using the push button. The telecoil setting may allow you to hear more clearly on the telephone. After finishing
your phone call, change back to your preferred listening program.
If your phone is labeled “Hearing Aid Compatible,” it works with a telecoil.
Other uses of a telecoil
Many people use the telecoil with assistive listening devices called induction loops. If you go to a public event, and the
room is “looped,” then you can use your telecoil. Set your hearing aid to the telecoil program. Sound is transmitted to your hearing aid, allowing you to hear the speaker more clearly. After the event, change back to your preferred listening program.

Awesome little hearing aid for the price. Much better and the same price as the hearing aids advertised on TV. And buying them through HearSource, they professionally programmed them to my specific hearing loss.
