device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for 
your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC 
requirements and are likely to generate less interference to 
hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is 
the better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings refer to enabling 
acoustic coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil 
mode.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements 
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices 
than mobile devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher 
of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling 
with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid 
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find 
this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is 
relatively immune to interference noise. 
Under the current industry standard, American National 
Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless 
mobile device rating values are added together to indicate how 
usable they are together. For example, if a hearing aid meets the 
M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the M3 
level rating, the sum of the two values equals M5. 
Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with 
normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular 
wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate 
excellent performance. 
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be satisfied. 
T ratings work similarly.
 
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the 
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
M3 + M2 = 5
T3 + T2 = 5
