I have a pacemaker. Can I use myPilot as well?
This device uses low-power, digitally coded transmission to communicate to your hearing instrument. Although unlikely, interference with medical devices such as pacemakers is possible. Interferences should not occur with normal use, keep the device 10 cm (4”) or more from the body. Therefore, it is recommended that pacemaker users do not keep this device in a breast pocket.

Do other electronic devices disturb myPilot?
The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference from other devices. It should be noted, however, that when operating the device near a computer terminal or other strong electromagnetic fields, it may be necessary to be at least 60 cm (24”) away to ensure proper operation. If the hearing instrument do not respond to the device because of an unusual field disturbance, move away from the disturbing field.
