3rd step
Become familiar with your own voice
By now you’ve already made considerable progress!
You’ve become much more familiar with the sounds in
your daily environment. As an exercise read out loud and
concentrate on your own voice.
4th step
Learn to understand the speech of others
Wear the instruments when you speak with someone in
your family. Make a date with a friend. Explain your new
situation and ask the person you’re talking to to speak at a
normal conversational level.
Exercise: Have sentences read out to you and repeat these
sentences.
Get used to conversations in a group
Conversation in a group of people speaking among them-
selves is one of the most difficult hearing situations.
Try to distinguish between the voices by noting their specific
tonal colour and their characteristic rhythm, and fit them to
the individual persons.
Don’t be discouraged, and repeat the exercise – think about
your goal: to be able to take part in such conversations again.

6th step
Visit public events
At lectures or in church find a place as close as possible
to the speaker. Also choose a place at the front in theatres
and concert halls. Avoid niches, boxes and places behind
pillars.
7th step
Telephoning in combination with your hearing instrument
TRIANO 3 / 3 P: see page 12
TRIANO S/SL: see page 19
TRIANO SP: see page 29
Your hearing instruments fulfil the IEC 118-13 standard
with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (concerning
for example interference by radiotelephones which are
used close-by). If you use a mobile phone unavoidable
disturbances can occur in your hearing instruments under
certain circumstances because of the high field strengths.
This is certainly unpleasant but no reason for concern:
Your hearing instrument is not defective.
8th step
Go on further voyages of discovery – undertake every-
thing that gives you pleasure and experience the
whole wide world of hearing.
