Do you have difficulty hearing on the telephone?
Do you take your hearing aid out to use the phone? There are several phones on the market today that not only give increased volume
but also allow you to change the pitch of the incoming voice so that the words may be more clear. There are adapters that you can
carry with you to use on telephone receiver when volume control is not available. Most hearing aids can be purchased with a telecoil
in them which enables you to use your hearing aid with the phone and then you benefit from both the volume and pitch range that your
hearing aid provides you.
Do you avoid going to plays, movies and other community activities because you can not hear well? Do you

devices that can help you to hear and participate in each of these situations!
