Check the information at this link -> About Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements for iPhone - Apple Support

Which hearing aids do you have? Are they "made for iPhone" hearing aids?

My hearing aids are Siemen Pure. There is a telicoil in them but no blue tooth. They are not dedicated iPhone aids. Theoretically if the iPhone emitted a magnetic sound signal the telicoil would pick it up like the land line hand set is reported to do. I don't talk on the phone that much and am more dependent on the caller's diction than anything else. Thanks

For the best information, you will want to talk with your audiologist and/or Siemens to determine how compatible your hearing aids are with the iPhone.
