Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for
Mobile phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although
analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference with
hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes
do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's
antenna, backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant
with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). While some wireless
phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune 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 in finding 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.
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
