Mobile Telephones
Some types of digital mobile telephones (e.g. GSM) may
interfere with the operation of the external equipment. As
a result, cochlear implant recipients may perceive a
distorted sound sensation when in close proximity, 1 - 4 m
(3 - 12 ft), to a digital mobile telephone in use.
Air Travel
Some airlines request that passengers turn off electrical
equipment, such as laptop computers, during take-off and
landing or whenever the seat belt sign is illuminated. Your
speech processor is a computer and therefore it should be
turned off when such a request is made. You should notify
airline personnel of your hearing impairment so they can
alert you to safety measures.
