Cell phone

Some hearing instrument users have
reported a buzzing sound in their
hearing instrument when they are
using cell phones, indicating that the
cell phone and hearing instrument may
not be compatible.
According to the ANSI C63.19 standard
(ANSI C63.19–2007 American National
Standard Methods of Measurement
of Compatibility Between Wireless
Communications Devices and Hearing
Aids), the compatibility of a particular
hearing instrument and cell phone can
be predicted by adding the rating for
the hearing instrument immunity to
the rating for the cell phone emissions.

For example, the sum of a hearing
instrument rating of 2 (M2/T2) and a
telephone rating of 3 (M3/T3) would
result in a combined rating of 5. Any
combined rating that equals at least
5 would provide "normal use"; a combined
rating of 6 or greater would indicate
"excellent performance".
The immunity of this hearing instrument
is M3/T3. The equipment performance
measurements, categories, and system
classifications are based upon the
best information available but cannot
guarantee that all users will be satisfied.
