Safety Guidelines 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 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 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. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones. To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth® and WLAN components must be disabled during a call. 89

Safety Guidelines
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 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
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.
M-Ratings:
Phones rated M3 or
M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher
of the two ratings.
T-Ratings:
Phones rated T3 or
T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”)
than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be
measured for immunity to this
type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may
help you find results for your
hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the
less likely you are to experience
interference noise from mobile
phones.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility rating for your
phone is maintained, secondary
transmitters such as Bluetooth
®
and WLAN components must be
disabled during a call.
