Radio Frequency (RF) energy
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out RF energy. Your service provider’s network controls the power of the RF signal. This power level can range from 0.006 to 0.6 watts.
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
•ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)
•NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1986)

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile Phones
Some mobile phones and hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), when used together, result in buzzing, humming, or whining noises detected by the user.
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 and 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.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you choose the proper rating for your mobile phone. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.
