TELECOILS

Telecoil (t-coil) – A telecoil (or t-coil) is a small coil of wire inside a hearing aid that is designed to pick up a magnetic signal. Telecoil (T) Only: No other sounds Telecoil/Microphone (T/M): Telecoil and Microphone combined

TELECOILS

  • Position Matters

(horizontal vs vertical)

  • “Most” hearing aids and

cochlear implants

  • Size Matters!
  • Activated by switch or

program button

  • “Doubles” what the

hearing aid can do

  • Also known a telephone
  • r t-switch

TELECOILS WORK WITH

  • Telephones
  • Neckloops
  • FM Systems
  • Looped Facilities

Must be in “manual mode” not automatic

TELECOIL MISHAPS

  • Not installed in the hearing aid = Some, but not all can

have it installed

  • Not activated by the audiologist or hearing instrument

specialist = If installed it can be activated

  • Automatic Setting = Can be reprogrammed to be manual
  • No training on what it can do = Get informed

BLUETOOTH

  • An option for some hearing

aids

  • Requires a “streamer” (in

most cases)

  • Pairs the hearing aid, via

streamer, to phones or audio devices

  • DOES NOT REPLACE THE

NEED FOR A TELECOIL

LOOP SYSTEMS

  • Entire area or room is looped
  • Telecoil mode in the hearing aid will pick up the sound signal
  • Telecoil users – no need for a receiver “box”
  • Non-telecoil users will need a receiver “box”

TELEPHONE ACCESS

  • Landline phones must be hearing aid compatible and they connect to

the telecoil when the receiver is placed next to the aid

  • Some need an added magnet to make the signal stronger (rare)
  • Neckloops can be plugged into landlines or cellphones
  • Bluetooth Neckloops can be paired with cell phones
