On the back of my daughter's hearing aids, where you turn them on, there is

an M, a T, and an O. The O is for off, T is for telecoil, M is for mic or on.

When she talks on the phone to grandma and grandpa, we switch the hearing

aids to T so that there is no feedback when the receiver is up to her ear.

She usually hears them well that way.

It's inside the hearing aid. To have one retrofit into the hearing aid, you

would have to send them into the manufacturer.

Am I to understand it fits on the hearing aid and the telephone and >then

With the T-coil in the hearing aid switched on, you'll be able to pick up

whatever's coming though a nearby induction loop. Most phones now have

induction loops. To see if a pay phone has an inductionloop, it should have

blue showing where the cord meets the handset - or at least that's how you

used to be able to tell. Don't know if they still do that or not.

Here is a wonderful page that explains all about t-coils:

Couldn't hurt to try one out. Are you near a center that has some of them

set up so you can try them out?

There's also a third setting, standard on some aids, optional on others,

MT. Both the mic and Tcoil are on at the same time.

Which brand of HA has the Mic and T coil together? We have had 3 different

types of Phonaks, and none of them had a combination switch.

, we have the SonoForte AudioZooms, and while there's no MT SWITCH

on the aid, there is an MT option on the remote control. So the setting is

available in the aid, but it's not on the regular switch.

My daughters' Widex senso has those settings, M MT and T. Sharon

We had 's Phonak PicoNet2s reprogrammed so that his M switch acted like

MT so that his teacher could turn on his Microlink FM without the remote

control. It only took his audie about a minute to do it on the computer. We

have found the setting to be more useful than a T alone setting.

The Phonak PPC-P can be wired this way, it's optional. 's Widex

P38's come with this setting standard.

Until our latest audiologist, we had no idea that hearing aids could be

customized almost anyway you want them. had his hearing aids

customized by the manufacturer to allow him to use the hearing aid and

fm simultaneously. It was an option, no one had even bothered to tell

us about in the past. So, check with your audiologist if a particular

hearing aid configuration doesn't meet your child's needs.

Oticon does. My daughter wears the Oticon PerSonic 440 with the mic and t

coil together.
