Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
This mobile device is rated M4/T4 .
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has defined standards for
wireless mobile devices to be compatible with hearing aid instruments. The
current standard is set by American National Standard Institute (ANSI). The
HAC standard adopts a M/T rating system.
The "M" rating indicates the reduced interference with hearing aids that
operates in acoustic mode, such as on a microphone. The "M" rates from
M1 to M4, with M4 being the best. The "T" rating specifies the capability of
the wireless mobile devices in operating with hearing aids that integrates
a telecoil (a small copper wire inside hearing aid that converts sounds into
electromagnetic signals) and operates in inductive coupling mode. The "T"
rates from T1 to T4, with T4 being the best.
The ratings are not a guarantee. However, it is suggested to choose a
wireless mobile device with at least "M3" in the M rating and "T3" in the T
rating to ensure wide compatibility with hearing aid instruments.
