We actually asked them to " turn up " the t-coil setting on Ian's new aids. Then they worked.(shrug) Who knew?! I thought " on " was simply " on " ... I didn't realize it was an adjustable setting.

I can be very slow to connect the dots... Which phone did you buy, and what type of hearing aids does wear? I don't know what determines interference, but Eleanor's aids are Widex Senso C9+, which are digital and have three settings: microphone, telecoil, and the two together. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've heard from others that sometimes you need to let your audiologist know that you WANT the telecoil activated - we've not run into that ourselves but I think others have. Also, we found that our oldest cordless phone - it's a 900 mhz - works best for them. Much better than the 2.4 ghz or the 5.8 ghz phones.
