Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones
Your phone is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility
requirements.
The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones.
These rules require certain phone to be tested and rated under the
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing
aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid
compatibility contains two types of ratings:
MRatings: Rating for less radio frequency interference to enable
acoustic coupling with hearing aids.
TRatings: Rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids in telecoil
mode.
Not all phones have been rated. A phone is considered hearing
aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic
coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. These ratings
are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most
compatible. Your phone meets the M3/T3 level rating.
However, hearing aid compatibility ratings don't guarantee that
interference to your hearing aids won't happen. Results will vary,
depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and
the degree of your 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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there
may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that
have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to
try the dierent features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine
if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider
or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this
rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility,
