Cell phone
Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound in their
hearing aids when they are using cell phones. According to the
ANSI C63.19 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
indicates ‘excellent performance’. The equipment performance,
measurements, categories and system classications are based
upon the best information available but cannot guarantee that all
users will be satised.
The rating of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2. Your hearing
healthcare professional can provide the actual rating for this
hearing aid.
Note: the performance of the 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, please 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.”
