Telecoils
• Telecoil: small coil of wire inside a hearing aid that is designed to pick up a magnetic signal.
• T-Coil• T-Switch• Telephone Switch
• Telecoil (T) only No other sounds
• Telecoil/Microphone (T/M)
Telecoil and Microphone sound combined

Telecoil FAQ
• Position matters• Size matters• Fits in most aids and
implants• Activated by switch or
program button• “Doubles” what the
hearing aid can do

Telecoils Work with
• Telephones• Neckloops• FM systems• Looped facilities
Telecoil must be in
"manual" mode not automatic
mode

Telecoil Mishaps
• Not installed in the hearing aid • Not activated by the audiologist or hearing
instrument specialist• Automatic setting • No training on what it can do • Provider bias

Bluetooth
• An option for some hearing aids• Requires a “streamer” (in most cases)• Pairs the streamer to phones and audio devices• Does not replace the need for a telecoil

Streamers
• Remote control• A “go between” device• Proprietary
connection to the hearing aid

Phones as Streamers
• Smartphone app becomes the “streamer” for remote control functions and Bluetooth communication
• Apple Accessibility (Live Listen, Mono Audio, Closed Captions)
