FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01- 09 modied the exception of wireless phones under the
Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aid. 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 aid 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 nd phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones 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 phone successfully. 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 and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are
not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your device is rated M4.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not
rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your device is rated T4.
Please power off the Bluetooth

function while using hearing aid devices with your 4043S.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you nd this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing
device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for
normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use. In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the
wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing
aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is dened as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
