Hearing Aid Compatibility Information
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 telecoil 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
(telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
