detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this

has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones

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,
