Can I use my hearing aid with a mobile phone?
One question we are continually being asked is: can I use my mobile phone in conjunction with my hearing aid?
Most new models of hearing aids are immune to radio frequency interference from GSM phones that are more than two metres away. Some are also immune to interference when the phone is brought up to the same ear as the hearing aid. The result depends on the level of immunity designed into the hearing aid, the nature of the hearing loss and the type of mobile phone.
