Push-button
Your hearing instruments have a push-button. In
the table below, your hearing care professional has
indicated the functionality of your push-button.
It may activate the telecoil or the programs. When you
switch between different settings, your instruments
will beep. Push the button until you hear the beeps –
the switch has a short delay to prevent unintentional
activation. The number of beeps will indicate which
setting you are using. The hearing instrument is
automatically set to microphone (M) for general use
when you turn on the instrument.

Beeps
1 Always microphone (M) for general use
3 T MT Not applicable
3 T Not applicable
Telecoil
The telecoil will pick up signals from built-in loop
systems and from telephones. Use the telecoil when
you are in a building with a loop system installed and
try the telecoil when using a phone. Do not use the
telecoil with mobile phones. Three (3) beeps will
indicate that the telecoil is active. Your hearing
care professional can set the telecoil to work
simultaneously with the microphone (MT) or as
telecoil only (T).
Volume control
Your hearing instruments may have a volume control.
This control allows you to adjust the volume in
different listening situations to the level you feel
comfortable with. Use your fingertip to turn the
control. Rotating the control upward gives louder
sound. Rotating the control downward gives less
(weaker) sound. Your hearing care professional will
program the setting of the volume control to reflect
the overall loudness of your instruments
