Telephones and mobiles
Hold the telephone or mobile "upside down" close to the microphone (using
the M program) or close to the telecoil (if using the MT or T program) as seen to
the left. The telecoil is placed vertically, close to the electrical input. Please note
the magnetic field from many modern phones is not strong enough to be picked
up by the telecoil. Some phones can be equipped with a neck-loop to reinforce
the magnetic field. It is important that neither you, nor the phone, touches the
sound processor as this may cause feedback ("whistling").

Care and maintenance

Cleaning the abutment area
When the last dressing has been removed and the abutment is exposed hygiene
continues to be very important.
Daily care
On a daily basis the area around the abutment should be cleaned to avoid debris
build-up. This build-up around the base of the abutment is not a scab and must
be removed. Cleaning this area is most easily done when you bath or take a
shower as plenty of warm water and soap on the area will help to soften any
crust that may have developed around the base of the abutment.
The soft brush, which was provided with your sound processor, should be
used for cleaning.
During the first weeks, after the dressing is removed, cleaning with the soft brush
may feel a little rough. If so, use a strip of baby wipe until your skin becomes
less sensitive and you can use the brush comfortably. The soft brush can be used
with any mild soap or shampoo and plenty of warm water.
