Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: • should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on. • should not carry the phone in a breast pocket. • should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your phone off immediately. Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones 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. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing 160

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

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 and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the

two ratings.
