Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
Your wireless phone has been tested for hearing aid device
compatibility. When some wireless 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 will have the rating on the box.
Your CDM7000 has an M4 rating.
Note:
Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate
less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings.
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 successfully
use a phone that has been tested and rated as Hearing Aid compatible.
Trying the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it
for your personal needs. Should you experience interference when
using your CDM7000 with your hearing device, it is suggested that you
promptly return the phone. It is further suggested that you experiment
with multiple phones (even those not labeled with an M3 or M4) while in
the retail store to find the one that works best with your hearing device.
