Re: Nokia reply on M / T Level

October 25, 2006

I also received an unhelpful email from Nokia, Gerald. I had asked

them which of their phones had the best onboard volume, not counting

the external speakers. Their reply was along the lines of " all have

our phones have the same volume " , which I dont believe. I was that

disgusted, that I didnt even bother to keep their email. I also told

them that their website wasnt very user-friendly, he said he would

pass that on. Into the trash can probably :-).

If anyone does try and buy a new phone, please post the brand name

Nokia/Motorola etc and model Number. Also, your experiences with it

could be of benefit to others trying to research the same thing. The

same brand and model might not be available in Australia or other

parts of the world, but it will be a good word of mouth guide for

others. I've seen the Motorola V3 RZR series mentioned favourably

here, previously.

I thought their reply to you wasnt very good, inasmuch as they wanted

you to ring them. I dont want to be talking to anyone on the phone,

when I am looking for the BEST phone to be able to use.

These phone companies obviously dont realise the importance of T4/M4

information to the general public, because they dont realise how many

hearing impaired people there are, of varying degrees, that could do

with a bit of help on the phone. I believe its about 20-25% of the

population thats said to have some sort of a hearing loss, thats a

very large market.

Dont get me wrong, I'm very grateful that I can use a phone at all

now, something that I couldnt do prior to my C.I. surgery, but I

would still like it to be a little better. Thats human nature I

suppose :-). I am using an older type mobile phone that I'm not

convinced has a good compatibility with hearing aids and C.I.'s, but

I'm still amazed that I can hear it by holding it to my ear/mic.

Maybe I've been extra lucky, but i have extremely good results with a Nokia

- model 6235.

Prior to that I had a Nokia 5110 which was also very good. The key benefit

for me was that Nokia

market a neck loop to use in conjunction with the T coil, which was crucial

to me in my H/A days.

The 5110 used a LPS-1, the 6235 uses a LPS-4. Now that I have the CI, I rely

a lot less on the neck loop

and T coil. The only time I need the loop is when background noise levels

are very high and its good to be

able to shut this out.

You can get information on the LPS loopsets from

either. You will hear very well with your C.I.

Hello , thanks.

Both of those models are or have been available in Oz. I'll put them on

my list to research. I dont want to have to use a neck loop though. I

can hear well enough, I just need a bit more volume, I can probably do

this by changing the setting on my C.I. but I dont want to fiddle

around with it too much, yet. A mobile phone with a good volume control

thats a bit louder than the norm, would be ideal.

October 25, 2006

Ted,

my 6235, when turned right up (10 steps from lowest to highest) is pretty

damn loud - I find it almost uncomfortable

It also provides the option of listening via " loudspeaker " which is loud

enough for me to leave the phone on a desk and use it as a speakerphone.

Thats not too bad, but background noise tends to negate any advantage there

I recieved the CI almost 2 years ago so I don't think there is a great deal

of improvement left for me - maybe when/if I upgrade to a freedom

Ted,

I haven't bought a new phone in the last year, but have an LG VX8100

(Verizon) that I bought in 2005 right when it came out. This phone works

great with the t-coil and has even better sound than the phone on my land

line which is a new Clarity C4210 (supposedly the best cordless landline

phone out there for HOH). I have found the LG phones to have really great

sound and t-coil compatibility, but some models, including the one I have,

are a little bulky. I have been in the Verizon store and tried out the new

Samsung phone with T4/M4, and it also sounded great. I looked on Verizon's

website and they have LG phones, the Motorola RAZR, Nokia and Samsung-- all

with Bluetooth and the T4 and/or M4 rating. I noticed that the LG and Nokia

were the only ones that still have the 2.5 mm jack where you can plug in a

T-link or neckloop. The Samsung and Motorola do not. I hope I never have to

go back to using the T-link or a neckloop again, but it is something to

consider if you think you may need or want one.

You might want to check out this link.

Neither the LG you mentioned or this Samsung dont appear to be

available in Oz either.

Is Verizon just another run of the mill telecommunications company,

or do they work under a different operating stystem to the others? We

have a couple here, one called 'Orange' and another called '3' and I

think they have special phone models to the other carriers and thier

phones wont work with anyone elses network. Most of the mobile phones

here work on the GSM Triband or Quadbands. A few work on something

called CDMA and they will only work on the network that provides

that.

There seems to be lots of choice and lots of good info available in

the US. I've done numerous Google searches just looking for M4/T4

rated mobile phones, or variables of that, without success. That term

doesnt seem to be recognised 'over here', so you can see what I meant

about it being akin to pulling teeth :-)

Ted,

I think the M4/T4 is something mandated here in the U.S. The Samsung a870 is

the one I tried out in the store, and it sounded great.

Verizon is a major cell phone provider here and uses the CDMA technology.

Sprint also uses CDMA. CDMA is supposed to have less interference with

hearing aids and t-coils than the GSM. Cingular Wireless is also a major

cell phone provider here, and they use the GSM. They probably have a couple

of models available now that are t-coil compatible with at least a T3.

The M-labeling of cell phones has been mandated for about a year in

the US, but the T-rating label is new as of September. However, as I

understand it, cell phone manufacturers and service providers who sell

phones only must make a certain fraction of their models HAC (hearing

aid compatible.) I think that fraction is 25%, so not all phones sold

will be compatible.

I have the Samsung a870 and I have found that the

I email Nokia filling out a database form and explained that I wore hearing

aids in both ears with telecoils. I asked for the M (microphone) / T

(telecoil) level and told them it would be a number between 1 and 4. Here is

the reply. Nokia support line is busy now, but I am wondering if Nokia is

being evasive and that their telecoil support is to poor to put in writing.
