US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as 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, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices
that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices
that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your
hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.
