Assistive listening devices
Listening in public places
Telecoils pick up electromagnetic energy
and convert it into sound. Your hearing aids
may have a telecoil option that 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
may be compatible with your hearing
aids. 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, an optional
wireless accessory, also has a DAI jack.
When your hearing aids detect a DAI signal,
they switch to your easy-DAI program
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.
