Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with it as they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the phone
or make calls that increase your invoice.
Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device
A number of Boost phones have been
tested for hearing aid device compatibility.
When some wireless phones are used with
certain hearing devices (including hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a noise which can interfere with the
effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference noise they may
generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed
to provide a standardized means of measuring
both wireless phone and hearing devices to
determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile
phones to assist hearing device users find
phones that may be compatible with their
hearing device. Not all phones have been
rated for compatibility with hearing devices.
Phones that have been rated have a label
located on the box. At the time this booklet was
printed, the HAC ratings were not available.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will
vary depending on the user’s hearing device
and individual type and degree of hearing loss.
If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable
to interference noise; even a phone with a
higher rating may still cause unacceptable
noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out
the phone with your hearing device is the best
way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
