The people I work with are all ordering HATIS adapters for their cell phones (http://www.hatis.com/). I haven't found an equivalent device for cochlear implants yet for my Treo 600.

For what it's worth, I think this question should have been posed in the technology forum.

You could try getting an induction loop -- it's a loop that is hung around your neck -- and hooked into the phone...hmm...it's hard to explain how it works, but it's worked for me before with my CI -- wonderful and clear!! :D
 
I haven't seen any induction loops that have microphones included in them. I might give them a chance if they were, but without the microphone for hands free operation, I'm not interested.
 
Good Letter

How can you talk on the cell phone with your hearing aids? i haven't tried that before. Do you talk on your cell phone with your hearing aids on? because i prefer to do that too because i haven't tried it before in my whole life....How ya doing? i am doing fine

I can talk on my cell with my aids. My old aid caused this weird grinding noise with it, but my new aids are hearing aid compatible! (Phonak Pico Fortes)
 
I can talk on the cell phone with my hearing aid. I use M mode, not T mode. :thumb:
