Unless your hearing loss is severe
enough to require the use of an amplified
telephone, while wearing the Cue
®
, you
should not have any problems using the
phone as you would without hearing aids.
If you do experience a slight “whistling”
sound, simply move the telephone slightly
away from your ear.
Telephone Use
Some hearing aid
users have reported
a buzzing sound in
their hearing aids
when they are
using cell phones,
indicating that the
cell phone and
hearing aid may
not be compatible.
According to
the ANSI C63.19
standard (ANSI C63.19-2006 American
National Standard Methods of
Measurement of Compatibility Between
Wireless Communications Devices and
Hearing Aids), the compatibility of a
particular hearing aid and cell phone can
Cell Phone Compatibility
be predicted by adding the rating for the
hearing aid immunity to the rating for the
cell phone emissions. For example, the
sum of a hearing aid rating of 2 (M2/T2)
and a telephone rating of 3 (M3/T3) would
result in a combined rating of 5. Any
combined rating that equals at least 5
would provide “normal use;” a combined
rating of 6 or greater would indicate
“excellent performance.”
The immunity of this hearing aid is at
least M2/T2. The equipment performance
measurements, categories and system
classifications are based upon the best
information available but cannot guarantee
that all users will be satisfied.
NOTE:
The performance of individual
hearing aids may vary with individual cell
phones. Therefore, please try this 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
cell phone provider for the booklet entitled
“Hearing Aid Compatibility with Digital
Wireless Cell Phones.”
