People who wear hearing aids run a higher risk of experiencing some challenges while using cell phones. For some people, interference may occur due to the radio frequency emissions from your cell phone while other individuals may not experience any noisy intrusions at all. However, when interference does occur, the buzzing sound can make understanding speech difficult, communication over cell phones annoying, and, in the worst case, render the cell phone unusable for the hearing aid user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, as technology improves, so too does the compatibility between hearing aids and cell phones. More and more cell phone companies are coming out with cell phones that have lower radiofrequency emissions or use innovative technologies to lessen the unwanted effects on hearing aids.
