HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) REGULATIONS FOR
MOBILE PHONES
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants . Although analog
wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids or
22
cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other
components . Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI
C63 . 1 9- 2011) .
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 in finding 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 .
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
