FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations forWireless Devices
On July 10, 2003 , the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and
Order in WT Docket 01- 09 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 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 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 T3.
Please power off the Bluetooth®function while using hearing aid devices with your A554C.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is
relatively immune to interference noise.

34 35
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 defined as a signal quality that is
acceptable for normal operation.
This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is intended to be synonymous
with the U mark.The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark.The M and T
marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS).
The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating
and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) C63.19 standard.
