Hearing aid compatibility The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2007 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings: •• An "M" rating for reduced radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids that are not operating in telecoil mode •• A "T" rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. For iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, go to www.apple.com/support/hac. Hearing aid compatibility ratings don't guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with a particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don't meet particular ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, try using them together before purchase. This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or Apple for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
