Important information: Hearing aid usage with cell phones
Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound
in their hearing aids when they are using cell phones.
Please note that the performance of individual hearing
aids may vary with individual cell phones. Therefore,
please try the hearing aid with your cell phone or, if you
are purchasing a new phone, be sure to try it with your
hearing aid prior to purchase. For additional guidance,
please ask your hearing healthcare professional for the
booklet entitled “Hearing Aid Compatibility with Digital
Wireless Cell Phones.”
9. Compliance information
According to the ANSI 63.19 (American National Standard Methods of Measurement
of Compatibility Between Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing instruments)
standard, the compatibility of a particular hearing aid and cell phone can be predicted by
adding the rating for the hearing aid immunity to the rating for the cell phone emissions.
The sum of the hearing aid rating (e.g. M2/T2=2) and the telephone rating (e.g. M3/T3=3)
is 5, and any combination that equals 5 will provide “normal use”; a sum of 6 or greater
would indicate “excellent performance.” the equipment performance measurements,
categories and system classifications are based upon the best information available but
cannot guarantee that all users will be satisfied. The immunity of this hearing aid is at
least M2/T2.
