Hearing Aid Compatibility Information (HAC)
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:
M-Ratings: Rating for less radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing
aids.
T-Ratings: 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/T4 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 different
features of this phone thoroughly and in different 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
