such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained
between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a
breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when
using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the
interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your
phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
