When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile devices, they may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device users find mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices 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 vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. 98 M-Ratings: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings refer to enabling acoustic coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil mode. T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode. Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. Under the current industry standard, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless mobile device rating values are added together to indicate how usable they are together. For example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equals M5. Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)

Regulations for Wireless Devices

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has

established requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be

compatible with hearing aids and other assistive hearing devices.

When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices

(hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile

devices, they may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of

interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system

for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device users find

mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing

devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices

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 vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to

use a rated mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile

device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for

your personal needs.

M-Ratings

: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to generate less interference to

hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings refer to enabling

acoustic coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil

mode.

T-Ratings

: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements

and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices

than mobile devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher

of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling

with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid

manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find

this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is

relatively immune to interference noise.

Under the current industry standard, American National

Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless

mobile device rating values are added together to indicate how

usable they are together. For example, if a hearing aid meets the

M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the M3

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

Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with

normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular
