Safety
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 servicesfor
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 to find phones that
may be compatible with their
VN250
123
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
arelikely togenerateless
interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled.
M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4
meetFCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.
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
5is considered acceptable for
normal use. A sum of 6 is
considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing
aid meets the M2 level rating and
the wireless phone meets the M3
level rating, the sum of the two
values equal M5. This should
provide the hearing aid user with
M3+ M2=5
M3+ M2=5
124
VN250
Safety
“normal usage” while using their
hearing aid with the particular
wireless phone. “Normal usage” in
this context is defined as a signal
quality that’s acceptable for normal
operation.
The M mark is intended to be
synonymous with the U mark. The
Tmark 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.
To enter that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility rating for your phone
is maintained, secondary
transmitters such as Bluetooth and
WLAN(this phone does not have
WLAN) components must be
disabled during a call. See Page 91
for instructions todisable these
components.
