FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations For Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Com-
munications Commission (FCC) Report and
Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the
exception of wireless phones under the
Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC
Act) to require digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of
the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access
to telecommunications services for persons
with hearing disabilities.While some wireless
phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users
may detect a buzzing,humming, or whin-
ing 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 hear-
ing device users find 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 vulner-
able 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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet
FCC requirements and are likely to generate
less interference to hear-
ing devices than phones
that are not labeled. M4 is
the better/higher of the
two ratings.Hearing de-
vices may also be rated.
