Telecoils

Otojoy-hearing aid-telecoil2.jpg

Bluetooth is great to directly connect hearing aids and cochlear implants to smartphones and televisions (personal devices). But you cannot use Bluetooth in public places.

 

To directly connect to the sound system in public and private places, you need a telecoil in your hearing aid. A telecoil connects you to FM, IR, and hearing loops in theaters, libraries, courtrooms, museums, places of worship, etc.

 

You need both Bluetooth and telecoils.
