User Guide for the Auria Harmony Sound Processor 43

Using a Speaker Phone

Speakerphones are another option when you want to use the telephone. By using

a speakerphone, no patch cables or program changing is necessary; simply turn on

the speakerphone and listen as you would during normal use with your processor.

Cell Phones

CAUTION: Using or being in the vicinity to someone who is using certain

digital cellular phones may cause interference with the cell phone’s

reception or problems with the quality of sound from your implant

system. If such interference occurs, move away from the cell phone.

Before purchasing a digital cellular phone, you should evaluate

whether or not interference is present.

Phone Tips

• Remember that telephone use takes time and practice. Be patient. Telephone

use will often improve over time.

• Practice listening with familiar speakers, such as your family members, friends,

therapist or audiologist.

• It may be helpful to become familiar with the topic of discussion ahead of time.

For example, tell your friend to call you at a speciﬁ c time to talk about a speciﬁ c

topic (e.g., Call me at 6:00 pm to talk about going to the movies).

• You may need to practice with several telephones to ﬁ nd one that is right

for you.

• When selecting a cellular phone, remember to try the phone ﬁ rst.
