Can a hearing aid or a cochlear implant and an ALD be used at the same time?
Some ALDs are designed for use with hearing aids or cochlear implants, while others are designed to be used alone. Hearing aids typically require using the built-in telecoil (“T” coil) switch with other equipment such as an ALD or a telephone to reduce or eliminate feedback or squeal. Cochlear implants can be used with ALDs by connection through a patch cord (DAI or Direct Audio Input) or by using the “T” coil switch (if available).
