Some phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids.
If the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids”
printed on it, the following explanation applies. When some
mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise, and phones
also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The
wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of
their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not
all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the
rating on their box or a label on the box. The ratings are not
guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing
device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
