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 have been rated have a
label on the box. Salute
TM
has been tested for hearing
aid device compatibility and has an M4 and/or T3 rating.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary,
depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device
and the degree of your 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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements
