• Your phone is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility
requirements.
• The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules
require certain phone 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: Rating for less radio frequency interference to enable acoustic
coupling with hearing aids.
• T-Ratings: Rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids in tele-coil mode.
• Not all phones have been rated, 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. These ratings are given on a scale from one to
four, where four is the most compatible. Your phone meets the M3/T3 level
rating.
• However, hearing aid compatibility ratings don't guarantee that interference
to your hearing aids won't happen. Results will vary, depending on the level of
immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your 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.
