Technical information

The hearing aid contains two radio technologies, 

which are described below: 

The hearing aid contains a radio transceiver using 

short range magnetic induction technology working 

at 3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the 

transmitter is very weak and is always below  

–40 dBμA/m at 10 meter distance.

 

The hearing aid also contains a radio transceiver 

using Bluetooth

®

 Low Energy (BLE) and a proprietary 

short range radio technology both working at  

2.4 GHz. The 2.4 GHz radio transmitter is weak and 

is always below 4 dBm e.i.r.p. in total radiated 

power.

The hearing aid complies with international  

standards concerning electromagnetic compatibility 

and human exposure. 

Due to the limited space available on the hearing aid, 

relevant approval markings can be found in this 

document.
