FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)

Regulations for Wireless Devices

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has
established requirements for digital wireless mobile
devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other
assistive hearing devices.

When individuals employing some assistive hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless
mobile devices, they may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune
than others to this interference noise, and mobile devices
also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating
system for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing
device users find mobile devices that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have
been rated. Mobile devices that are rated have the rating
on their box or a label located on the box.
