This phone 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 this
phone 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 or the
manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your service
To determine the compatibility of a WD and a particular hearing aid, simply add the numerical
part of the hearing aid category (e.g. M2/T2=2) with the numerical part of the WD emission
rating (e.g., M3=3) to arrive at the system classification for this particular combination of WD
and hearing aid. A sum of 5 would indicate that the WD and hearing aid would provide normal
use, and a sum of 6 or greater would indicate that the WD and hearing aid would provide
excellent performance. A category sum of less than 4 would likely result in a performance that is
judged unacceptable by the hearing aid user.
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
telecommunications 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 interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using
the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing
aids operating in the telecoil 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 considered 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 (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID: Q3N-RS30) are M3 and T3.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL
WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with
your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent
to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding,
and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.
