This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the
smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may
be used in this smartphone that have not been tested for use
with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features
of your smartphone thoroughly and in different locations
to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using
this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant.
Consult your wireless service provider about its return and
exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid
compatibility.
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T4
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled.
M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices 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 wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the
two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils
in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this
type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find results for
your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is,
the less likely you are to experience interference noise from
wireless devices.
