Important information: Cell phones
Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound
in their hearing aids when they are using cell phones.
According to the ANSI 63.19 (American National Standard
Methods of Measurement of Compatibility between
Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing Instruments)
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 would indicate “excellent performance”.
The equipment performance measurements, categories and
system classifications are based upon the best information
available but cannot guarantee that all users will be
satisfied. The immunity of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2.
Note:
the performance of 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, be sure to try it with your hearing
aid prior to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask
your hearing care professional for the booklet entitled
“hearing aid compatibility with digital wireless cell phones”.
