Compatibility (HAC)
regulations for wireless
devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal
Communications 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 whining
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
hearing device users find phones
that may be compatible with
