Etymotic The BEAN® Quiet Sound Amplifier® - Manual (Page 11)

Switch Positions
There are two settings: Microphone (M) and Telecoil (T)
M: (switch toward the BEAN)
• 15-dB amplification and treble
boost for soft sounds.
• No amplification for loud sounds
T: (switch away from the BEAN)
• T-coil enabled
• Microphone disabled
Using the Telephone
Use the phone with the BEAN in either the M or T position.
M: Hold the phone up to the ear just as you normally do. If there is a
small amount of feedback (whistle) when the phone is close to the
BEAN, re-position the BEAN for a better seal. Some people choose
to hold the phone out at a slight angle from the ear.
T: The microphone is disabled and there is a direct connection with
hearing-aid compatible phones and loop systems.
Loop Systems
Loop systems take their name from a loop of wire that is
placed around a room or large area. The loop sends an
electromagnetic signal to the BEAN, which then changes
that signal into sound. The benefits are improved hearing
in reverberant conditions or when a talker is too far away
to be heard clearly with amplification.
