Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
for Wireless Telecommunication Devices
This phone has a HAC rating of M3/T3.
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 tele-coil mode,
thus reducing unwanted background noise.
How will I know which wireless phones are hearing aid compatible?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box. A phone is
considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has
an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible
for inductive coupling (tele-coil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
