\t\t\t\tThe Better Hearing Institute recently came out with an article called, “How to Buy a Cell Phone if You Have a Hearing Loss,” by Janice Schacter. The article takes the traditional material available in the “Hearing Aid\u00a0Compatibility\u00a0for Wireless Telephones<\/a>,” brochure produced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) along with The Wireless Associations brochure on “Hearing Aid\u00a0Compatibility\u00a0for Wireless Telephones and Services,” and combines it with practical information found during a families quest to find their daughter, who has a hearing loss, a cell phone.<\/p>\n The article contains leading questions that can help guide you through the process of obtaining a cell phone appropriate for your hearing loss, and hearing devices.<\/p>\n Also available for those interested in integrating their cell phone with their hearing devices is the streamer – a compact Bluetooth device that acts as a gateway between Oticon’s Dual or Epoq hearing devices and external sound sources (such as your TV, radio, pc, music player, land line and cell phone).<\/p>\n
