FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference
noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless
phones, to assist hearing device users to find phones that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are
rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees.
Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If
your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be
able to use a rated phone successfully.
Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for
your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled.
M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
