Hearing Aid Compatibility Information
(HAC)
YourphoneiscompliantwiththeFCCHearingAid
Compatibility requirements.
TheFCChasadoptedHACrulesfordigitalwireless
phones. These rules require certain phone to be
tested and rated under the American National
Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing
aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard
for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of
ratings:
M-Ratings: Rating for less radio frequency
interference to enable acoustic coupling with
hearing aids.
T-Ratings: Rating for inductive coupling with hearing
aids in telecoil mode.
Not all phones have been rated, a phone is
considered hearing aid compatible under FCC
rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling
and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. These ratings
are given on a scale from one to four, where four
is the most compatible. Your phone meets the M4/
T4 level rating.
However,hearingaidcompatibilityratingsdon’t
guarantee that interference to your hearing aids
won’t happen. Results will vary, depending on the
level of immunity of your hearing device and the
degree of your 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.
