The Opis 60s mobile hEar senior phone and hearing loss
- extra-loud electronic ringer
- loud earpiece
- inductive coupling of the earpiece to hearing aids with a T-coil
With age, many people's hearing declines to a greater or lesser degree. The Opis 60s mobile hEar senior phone offers several aids for this.
It comes with an adjustable, very loud electronic ringer so that no call goes unheard.
During a call, the senior phone supports understanding in two ways. The earpiece volume can be turned up very high, which can help with mild to moderate hearing loss. In addition, the Opis 60s mobile hEar uses inductive coupling, which transmits the earpiece sound directly to the hearing aid and thereby reduces background noise.
What is inductive coupling with a T-coil?
It is an established system that allows many hearing-aid wearers to hear wirelessly transmitted speech more clearly. (To find out whether your hearing aid has a T-coil and how to activate it, check your hearing aid's manual or ask your hearing-aid acoustician.)
The system is widely used in auditoriums, concert halls and churches. In the past, the post office even offered special landline phones with a T-coil (the T stands for telephone coil) – unfortunately this practice has been increasingly neglected. With the Opis Technology senior phone, T-coil coupling returns to telephony in a new, improved form. Using it does not change anything: simply hold the earpiece to your ear and listen.
