Hearing aids 

Most new models of hearing aids are immune to radio frequency 

interference from Satellite IP Modems that are more than 2 metres 
away. Many types of older hearing aids may be susceptible to 

interference, making it very difficult to use them near a Satellite IP 
Modem. Should interference be experienced, maintain additional 

separation between you and the Satellite IP Modem.
