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 01-309 modified the

exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility

Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones 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 phones 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 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 to find 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 labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two

ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are

likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones

that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
