Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of
six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
?
T Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;
?
T Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
?
T Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference .

interference, you may want to consult your service provider. [or call the customer service

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices
are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to
assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their
