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.

interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher
of the two ratings.

THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M3/T3.
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 yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to
try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your
service provider about its return and exchange policies and for information on hearing
aid compatibility. Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you find 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 best use.
