Default Sidetone enabled phones

Hi. I'm curious if anyone is aware which CDMA [1][2] phones, able to work on the Canadian market, have sidetone [3] enabled?

I'm completely deaf [4] in one ear and use a hearing aid [5] in the other. When I use my hearing aid's telcoil with most new digital cell phones, I'm not able to hear my own voice, making it difficult to tell how loud I'm talking. Quite annoying. My current phone, a Bell Canada Samsung 3500 [6] has excellent sidetone, however the newer Samsungs [7] don't have it at all.

As the baby boomer's age, I'm guess this will start becoming more of an issue soon. Any information or consumer group you are aware of would be a great help.[8]

Thanks in advance.
Mike

[1] Either Bell Canada or Telus networks. I'll even buy it on Ebay if I have to, long as it works here and is unlocked.
[2] I'm unable to use TDMA or GSM phones due to the extreme interference they produce in my aid, so that rules out Rogers, Mike and Fido networks.
[3] Sidetone is the feature where you are able to hear your own voice in the phone's receiver.
[4] Childhood thing. Makes it easier to pretend I don't have to take out the garbage. Drives my wife nuts.
[5] Starkey CE. Nice brand, but their support swear they can't do anything about this, and the problem is all the cellular company's fault.
[6] Surprisingly tough for a flip phone. Lasted almost 2 1/2 years without a hiccup, and I'm not gentle on my phones.
[7] Confirmed with their technical support line.
[8] Thanks for reading all these footnotes. Have a great day!
