T-Coil Activation Protocol

 

Do I have a T-Coil?

T-Coil Activation Many hearing aids that fit behind or in the ear may include a T-Coil.  To determine if your hearing aid has a T-Coil, consult your hearing aid provider.  If your hearing aids do not have a built in T-Coil, but have Bluetooth capabilities, a Streamer can be used to interact with a room Loop.  Streamers are available from all major hearing aid manufacturers.  They are paired in the same way as other Bluetooth devices and can be used for more than T-Coil operations.

 

How Do I Get My T-Coil Activated?

The T-Coil for a room Loop must be accessed by using the hearing aid memory button that has its own program.

 

How Should My Hearing Aid T-Coil Program Be Set?

 


T- Coil Activation - ColucciT-Coil Activation - ColucciPrescriptions for T-Coils are significantly different than those for general hearing aid listening. Since the sensitivity of the T-Coil and issues related to individual hearing loss, this program can be set to the manufacturers’ default and then modified using a special procedure to ensure clarity without excessive internal noise or “buzz”.  If the T-Coil fails to provide clarity, your hearing aid provider can use a neck loop connected to a computer and set the program using real ear probe testing. The outcome of programming should be clarity in the absence of extraneous noise.
