Assistive listening devices
Listening in public places
Telecoils pick up electromagnetic energy
and convert it into sound. Your hearing aid's
telecoil option can help you listen in public
places equipped with telecoil compatible
assistive listening devices such as a
loop system.
When you see this symbol, a loop
system is present and it is compatible with
your hearing aid. Please contact your hearing
healthcare professional for more information
on loop systems.
Connecting to external audio sources
Your hearing aids may have a direct audio
input (DAI) to connect to other audio sources,
such as a stereo or television, using an FM
system or a cable. The uDirect 3, an optional
wireless accessory, also has a DAI jack.
When your hearing aids detect a DAI signal,
they switch to your easy-DAI program
34
automatically. A short melody indicates that
easy-DAI is active. When you disconnect the
DAI, your hearing aids return to the previous
program automatically.
Ask your hearing healthcare professional
for information about the DAI system and a
connector cord.
