Cellular phones

Your hearing aid complies with the most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic Compat-
ibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing aid compatible (HAC).
Any degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or of your wireless
telephone service provider.

care professional will be able to give you advice on available wireless accessories to enhance listen-
ing capabilities.
