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.
