with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your

SCP-2700 by Sanyo has [M4 T4] ratings.

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and

individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to

interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels

in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid compatibility and

are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable

with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated phones. (T4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless

phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for

the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine

probable usability:

•

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.

•

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

•

Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for

"excellent use." This is synonymous for T ratings.

More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov,
