Switches automatically to a telephone program upon detection of a handset.
End user benefit
User can conveniently use the phone without needing to consider hearing aid programs.
The PhoneNow™ program is activated by magnetic fields, generated either by the handset of a stationary phone or by a small magnet located on the handset or mobile phone. When the handset is held to the ear, the hearing instrument detects the magnetic field and switches to PhoneNow™. This program can be acoustic (where the microphone of the hearing instrument is used) or inductive (the telecoil of the instrument is used).

When one device is activated with the PhoneNow™ program, the Comfort PhoneTM feature uses Ear-to-Ear communication to automatically reduce the gain of the other device by 6 dB. This allows the wearer to concentrate more easily on the phone conversation.| RESOUND MODEL | CHOICE |
