WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to
enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications
devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI
standards with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced
interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid
microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the
telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL
WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with
your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to
which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and
whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.
