Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a
child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist
for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause
problems in language development and the educational and social
growth of a child. An audiologist who is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child
with hearing loss is recommended.
Cell phone
Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound in their
hearing aids when they are using cell phones. According to the ANSI
C63.19 standard, the compatibility of a particular hearing aid and
cell phone can be predicted by adding the rating for the hearing aid
immunity to the rating for the cell phone emissions. The sum of the
hearing aid rating (e.g. M2/T2 = 2) and the telephone rating (e.g.
M3/T3 = 3) is 5, and any combination that equals 5 will provide
'normal use'. A sum of 6 or greater indicates 'excellent performance'.
The equipment performance, measurements, categories and system
classifications are based upon the best information available but
cannot guarantee that all users will be satisfied.
The rating of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2. Your hearing
healthcare professional can provide the actual rating for this
hearing aid.
Note: the performance of the individual hearing aids may vary with
individual cell phones. Therefore, please try the hearing aid with your
cell phone or, if you are purchasing a new phone, please be sure to
try it with your hearing aid prior to purchase. For additional guidance,
please ask your hearing healthcare professional for the booklet
entitled "Hearing aid compatibility with digital wireless cell phones".
