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 198 (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.
Model A1349 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.
Model A1349 is rated T4.
Safety and regulatory guide
The handset has not been rated for hearing aid compatibility with respect to the Wi‐Fi capability.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with A1349.
NEWER WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES
iPhone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it
uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in iPhone that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any
interfering noise. Consult your service provider about its return and exchange policies and for
information on hearing aid compatibility.
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.
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.
Normal Usage: 4+1=5
M4 + M1
Better Usage: 4+2 =6
M4 + M2
Best Usage: 4+4=8
M4 + M4
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M4
level rating, the sum of the two values equal M6. This should provide the hearing aid user with “better
usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Better usage” in this context is
defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for better than 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.
