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 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.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are 
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones 
that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer 
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher 
ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to 
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values 
are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for 
normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.
