• Avoids feedback ("eeee") as it communicates wirelessly with the handset to pick up a signal

• Especially useful to those who have more hearing loss

  • An estimated 25% to 30% of aids have telecoils

  • Telecoil has been available in CI for several years now

• More vulnerable to interference than microphone mode
