Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless mobile devices under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless mobile devices 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 mobile devices 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 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. Your Samsung Galaxy Prevail™ has an M4 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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 aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability: ⅷ Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use. ⅷ Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. ⅷ Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Important Safety Information

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid

Device

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309

modified the exception of wireless mobile devices under the

Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require

digital wireless mobile devices 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 mobile devices 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 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.

Your Samsung Galaxy Prevail™ has an M4

rating

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending

on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of

hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to

interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still

cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for

hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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 aid devices may also be measured for immunity to

interference noise from wireless phones and should have

ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare

professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of

your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable

usability:

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers

excellent use.

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
