It was a short phone call but I was pleased that with my telecoil setting I could hear some of what he said. I don't want to try again for a while in case I was imagining it! I don't think that I will ever totally relax with the phone but it would be nice to get to the stage where I could just be able to make appointments, confirm arrangements etc.
I think you will be using a lot more than you think. Just be patient and you will be surprised...

I know one woman who it was thought she would probably not be able to listen strictly by the CI itself without lipreading. Well, she is using the phone pretty decently now. She surprised me by calling me a month or two ago and caught most everything I said.
