Hearing Aid Compatibility

Radio frequency can interfere with some hearing aids. Your handset has a hearing aid compatibility
mode that adjusts the frequency response for users who have hearing aids equipped with telecoil
inductive pickups. Acoustic pickup hearing aids will not respond to this adjustment.
To view the current status of the Hearing Aid Compatibility feature and to enable or disable this feature,
navigate to Settings > Basic Settings > Hearing Aid Compatibility.
