We, and our audiologists, should be educating and advocating for this hearing assistive technology in public places. Many worship centers have it, but many need it. They do not have to provide it if people don't ask for it.
A simple, inexpensive 'neckloop' can connect your telecoils to FM and IR receivers that may be used in some venues. BT can connect to some things, but that telecoil will connect to a lot of things BT won't. This is tricky to explain, but people who sell hearing aids should consider it their responsibility to explain it.
Did your audiologist tell you how to use your telecoils with other devices or about neckloops?

No she didn’t tell me about neckloops but again I don’t know that there are a lot of any in our area. This really isn’t much of an issue for me because I don’t usually frequent places that have this type of thing such as places of worship. We went to a museum once and that is where I saw the loop and that was in Philadelphia.
