Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile PhonesWhen some mobile phones are used near some hearingdevices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users maydetect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearingdevices are more immune than others to this interferencenoise, and phones also vary in the amount of interferencethey generate.The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings forsome of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device usersin finding phones that maybe compatible with their hearingdevices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that arerated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary dependingon the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hear-ing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, youmay not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Tryingout the phone with your hearing device is the best way toevaluate it for your personal needs.M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirementsand are likely to generate less interference to hearingdevices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is thebetter/higher of the two ratings.T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirementsand are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s tele-coil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones.T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not allhearing devices have telecoils in them.)Hearing devices mayalso be measured for immunity to thistype of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer orhearing health professional mayhelp you find results foryour hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is,the less likely you are to experience interference noise frommobile phones.6809497A93
