Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for Wireless Telecommuni-
cation Devices
This phone has a HAC rating of M4/T4.
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 telecommunica-
tions 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 inter-
ference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid micro-
phone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the tele-
coil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.
How will I know which wireless phones are hearing aid compatible?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box. A phone is consid-
ered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4”
rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (tele-
coil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
