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 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.
