Telecoils
Delivering greater clarity for listening on the phone, to a movie, or to the stereo
A telecoil can provide the extra help you need to hear with more clarity and ease in a wide range of environments.
A telecoil is a miniature receiver that picks up magnetic sound signals from telecoil-compatible phones and assistive listening systems (ALS). In many situations, you may hear this magnetic signal a lot better than the acoustic signal from your speech processor’s microphone. In other words, a telecoil acts as an alternate or supplemental input device to your microphone.
There are many ways to use a telecoil:
- With a telecoil-compatible phone.
- In movie theaters, sports stadiums, churches, and lecture halls that have an induction loop system or infrared system.
- With personal neckloops, telecoil-compatible headphones/headsets, Hatis®, or telecoil-compatible telephone and cell phone.
Sprint Telecoil
Telecoil for body-worn SPrint speech processors (part number Z43158) connects to accessory jack on speech processor.
SPrint Telecoil can also be used with Spectra 22.
The processor microphone is disabled when using The SPrint Telecoil.
ESPrit Telecoil with cable
Telecoil for the entire ESPrit family of BTE processors (part number Z77125)
Cordless Telecoil
A small, wireless telecoil for ESPrit/ESPrit 22 BTE processors and ESPrit 3G/ESPrit 3G for N22 BTE processors (part number Z60422)
Requirements:
ESPrit/ESPrit 22 requires:
- Audio cover (part number Z77156, Z77157 or Z77158)
ESPrit 3G / ESPrit 3G / N22 requires:
- Accessory adapter – ESPrit 3G (part number Z60121)
Helpful Hint: Although the ESPrit 3G has a built-in telecoil, using Cordless Telecoil or ESPrit Telecoil with cable may improve signal strength when using a neckloop. Positioning the telecoil closer to the neckloop provides a stronger signal.
