T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing

devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings. Hearing devices may also

be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher

ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless

phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is

considered for best use.

In the example to the above, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3

level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5.

This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular

wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable for normal

operation.

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the

UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions

(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement

procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

When you're talking on a cell phone, it's recommended that you turn the BT (Bluetooth) mode off for HAC.
