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.
