values are then added together. A sum of 5 is 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 "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 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.
To enter that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained,
secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled
during a call.
