Which cell phone is best for hearing impaired person with a behind-the-ear hearing aid?
It really depends. Cell phones put out a massive amount of electronic ‘noise’ which can affect a hearing aid. The best thing to do is to try different cell phones and see which sounds best. I had a patient one time who had two identical hearing aids, yet one picked up static from his cell phone while the other did not. So it really depends on the specific hearing aid, and the specific phone. Starkey have produced a Bluetooth dongle that works with many BTE hearing aids and any Bluetooth capable cell phone. This is probably the best overall solution for cellphone usage available currently.
