Hearing aid compatibility (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 phones to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Insti
tute (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.
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 im
munity 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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of
the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing
aids. It is important to try the dierent features of this phone thoroughly and in
dierent locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you
hear any interfering noise.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you nd this rating. For more information about FCC
Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
