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

don't guarantee that interference to your
hearing aids won't happen. Results will vary,
