A telecoil is a device that fits inside a hearing aid. With this device plugged in, you can use your phone to speak through your hearing aids and telecoil. A telecoil also allows you to communicate with others who have access to the same technology.

Do you require a telecoil in your hearing aid?

Yes, you need a telecoil in your hearing aid. A telecoil will assist you in having a conversation with someone who has access to the same technology. It will boost the signal strength of your hearing aids, giving you enhanced clarity and privacy for a more elegant conversation.

However, the best method to find out what telecoil would work for you would be by speaking with your audiologist about your specific needs.


Telecoil has its benefits;

  • Better phone conversations.

You will have a more private conversation while on the phone. The feature eliminates any issues with background noise and allows a deeper understanding of what is actually being said when speaking on the phone. This is accomplished simply by utilising your hearing aids and telecoil.


  • Loop system

Telecoils are used with a loop system in public venues where listening might be challenging. Public venues such as lecture halls, concerts and train stations are characterised by background noise and a significant distance between the listener and the sound source. The transmitted sound will be conveyed straight to the hearing aid via the telecoil when a loop system is installed in such an area. Telecoils makes it easy to hear the speaker no matter the distance.
