Some phones are measured for compatibility with
hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has
“Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following
explanation applies. When some mobile 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 have the rating on their box or a label on
the box. 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 use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
