A loop worn around the neck that connects to the wireless phone. An example of this technology is the Nokia LPS-1 Loopset. Silhouettes and neckloops both transmit sound from the wireless phone directly into the T-coil hearing aid. This eliminates background noise and may reduce or eliminate interference caused by the phone and hearing aid being too close together. If you remove your hearing aid, this accessory may increase the phone s volume by positioning the sound directly into the ear.
Ear buds are available for most major phone brands.
Additional wireless phone features are listed in the Wireless Technology Options Chart. Wireless service providers and manufacturers are cooperatively working to find solutions that will ensure quality wireless communication services are accessible to TTY users. Until that technology is available, using a text messaging service or wireless data service may enable you to communicate with other wireless phone users by sending and receiving text or e-mail messages on your wireless phone. For more information on these services, see the product brochures. Many wireless phone manufacturers have included features that may be useful for people who are blind or have visual impairments.
