HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC)
REGULATIONS FOR WIRELESS DEVICES US VARIANT ONLY
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 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 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 background noise.
• This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids, with some of the wireless technologies that
it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies used in the device that have not been tested yet
for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features on your device thoroughly and in different
locations whilst using a hearing aid or cochlear implant to determine if there is any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the device manufacturer for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have any
questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
• The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established requirements for digital wireless mobile
devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other hearing assistive devices.
• The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system to assist hearing device users, reviewing the
compatibility of mobile devices with hearing devices.
• The ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If a
user’s hearing devices happens to be vulnerable to interference, the user may not be able to use a rated
phone device successfully. Testing the mobile device with a hearing device is the best way to evaluate if it is
suitable for a user’s personal needs.
• The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain devices to be tested
and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility
standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
• M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labelled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
• T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to work better with a hearing device’s
telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
