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.
