When using your phone near pacemakers, please: Always keep the phone more
than 8 inches (20 centimeters) from the pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
Not carry the phone in the breast pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference. Switch off the phone immediately if
necessary.

interference, you may want to consult your hearing aids manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
