 * Two Microphone Omni-Directional Mode:  When the Frontwave™ directional system is ordered, the hearing aid is equipped with two microphones.  Research has indicated that when used simultaneously in omni-directional mode, two microphones can cancel out excess microphone noise, which, consequently, allows for a quieter hearing aid. * Two Microphone Omni-Directional Mode:  When the Frontwave™ directional system is ordered, the hearing aid is equipped with two microphones.  Research has indicated that when used simultaneously in omni-directional mode, two microphones can cancel out excess microphone noise, which, consequently, allows for a quieter hearing aid.
 * Frontwave™ Mode:  When activated, this two-microphone directional system, works by creating a cancellation effect of sounds coming from behind the patient.  This mode is most beneficial for increasing intelligibility in the presence of background noise. * Frontwave™ Mode:  When activated, this two-microphone directional system, works by creating a cancellation effect of sounds coming from behind the patient.  This mode is most beneficial for increasing intelligibility in the presence of background noise.
-* Telecoil Mode:  When utilized in this mode, the microphone is shut off and the electromagnetic field of either a telephone or an inductive loop system (found in some churches, theaters, airports, and meeting rooms) is utilized for amplification.  +* Telecoil Mode:  When utilized in this mode, the microphone is shut off and the electromagnetic field of either a telephone or an inductive loop system (found in some churches, theatres, airports, and meeting rooms) is utilized for amplification.  
 * Microphone Plus Telecoil Mode:  To benefit from use of both the telecoil amplification and the hearing aid's microphone, this mode is selected.  This mode attenuates the microphone by 6 dB while the telecoil is in use. * Microphone Plus Telecoil Mode:  To benefit from use of both the telecoil amplification and the hearing aid's microphone, this mode is selected.  This mode attenuates the microphone by 6 dB while the telecoil is in use.
