Declarations and Strategic Documents
Since 2009 (15 years ago), national and international groups have written proclamations and documents about the criticality of including BOTH telecoils and Bluetooth.
NEITHER should be optional: Consumers shouldn’t be forced to choose between them, nor should professionals be forced to choose (because of the lack of products provided by the hearing aid MFRs) between models that offer only one or the other. Users require BOTH.
Audiologists and hearing instrument providers are responsible for providing devices that permit users to hear in as many places as possible, activating built-in telecoils, demonstrating the benefits of all features, and educating the user.
