Since each telephone receiver has a different speaking position, conversation can be very difficult for those with hearing aids. For example, the behind-the-ear style may have a telecoil that communicates with the telecoil in the hand set. This makes it easier to understand a conversation. In this situation, you would hold the receiver behind your ear, covering the microphone in the aid.
With an in-the-ear-style hearing aid, you might need to hold the receiver over the ear to angle the receiver away from the microphone. This will help avoid feedback.
