Have had my HA (digital) for a couple of years now and have never had a
problem with cell phones. Also no problems with computer monitors,
fluorescent lights or anything else for that matter. The telecoil works
great with my cell phone, Nokia. In fact the older the phone the worse the
performance. Some older desk and wall phones are so bad it is better if I
take the hearing aid out and while using the phone.

I picked up one of the loop adapters from the audiologist and it is just
about the neatest thing since sliced bread. Just plug it into the headset
jack on the radio and you have the greatest set of headphones you have ever
owned. You can adjust the volume on each separately and no one else can hear
a thing. Also use an extension cable and can work on the computer while
listening to the radio so that I don't miss anything. With the loop I do
sometimes pick up stray noise, never have tried to sort out what it is.
Could be lights, RF, any number of things but just not worth messing with,
it is just not that bad.

I can say that my HA really gave me back ham radio. Was really getting tough
to make out callsigns, etc. Had to continually crank up the volume when
using headsets, etc. I have so much more fun on the radio since I got them I
can't imagine not having them.
