A fairly common problem is that some old relative of yours may have hearing problems, or his complete absence, and so, ListenClear helps many people who are in such trouble.

Your audiologist can provide this information and it is important to know prior to purchasing a cell phone. Immunity refers to how well your hearing aid is protected from the interference that may be caused by cell phones. The M ratings of the hearing aid and the cell phone need to be added together to have a sum of 5 or more or an M5 rating.

Most current hearing aids have a rating of an M2 or better. The hearing aid immunity rating varies by company and product.
