FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
regulations for wireless devices
The FCC has adopted rules to ensure reasonable
access to telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities. As part of this
effort, the industry uses a rating system for
wireless phones to help hearing device users find
phones that may be compatible with their
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants). This hearing-aid compatibility (HAC)
rating system is described in the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard and includes the following ratings:
M-Ratings:
For phones that use acoustic
coupling with hearing devices that are not
operating in telecoil mode.
Phones rated M3 or
Safety and regulatory guide 11
M4 meet FCC HAC requirements and are likely to
generate less radio frequency interference with
hearing devices than phones with lower ratings.
M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your
2PST300
is rated
M4
.
T-Ratings:
For phones that use inductive
coupling with hearing devices operating in
telecoil mode.
Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
HAC 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. Your
2PST300
is rated
T4
.
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 provider or phone retailer.
The ratings are not guarantees. Trying out the
phone with your hearing device is the best way
to evaluate it for your personal needs. Results will
vary depending on a user’s hearing device and
hearing loss. For example, if some wireless
phones are used near some hearing devices,
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. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able
to use a rated phone successfully.
