The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES PCD'S COMMITMENT PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital wireless technologies. We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices for our customers who wear hearing aids. THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T3 WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY? The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility 156 of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an "M" rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when 01 using the hearing aid microphone, and a"T"rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted 02 background noise. 03 HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID 04 COMPATIBLE? 05 The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box. 06 07 A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an "M3" or "M4" rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a"T3"or "T4" rating. HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE? You'll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating. 157
