HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) REGULATIONS FOR
CELLPHONES
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
cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other
22
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 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 or the
manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing-aid compatibility . If
you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service
provider or phone retailer .
