Hearing AID information
Some phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If
the box for your particular model has "Rated for Hearing Aids"
printed on it, the following explanation applies. 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 box or a label
on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your
hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may
not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the
phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for
your personal needs.
