I am using an N86 with 2 hearing aids. I have not found any way to use a loop signal from the phone. However you can switch the call to loud simply by pressing soft key 2 which I find ok. Using an ordinary pair of headphones is also a relaxing way to make calls as the volume is very good through these.
