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- 09 modied 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 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 nd 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.
99
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. Your device 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. Your device is rated T4.
Please power o the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your Venture. Hearing devices may also be rated.
Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you nd 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. 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 “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this
context is dened as a signal quality that is acceptable for 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.
