Interference

Care must be taken when using the device in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

  • Pacemakers
    Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between a device anda pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

  • Hearing aids
    People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
    The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
