The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device
users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices.
Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have
the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing
device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you
may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your
hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device
is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some
of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other wireless
technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been tested for use
with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your smartphone
thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise
when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your
wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for information
about hearing aid compatibility.
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T4
How the ratings work
M-Ratings
: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that
are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings
: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference.
Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find
results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely
you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard to
hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has
taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications
services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
