Fcc Hearing Aid Compatibility (Hac) Regulations For Wireless Devices - Samsung Galaxy J7 User Manual

FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless
Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) has established requirements for digital
wireless mobile devices to be compatible with
hearing aids and other assistive hearing
devices.
When individuals employing some assistive
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants) use wireless mobile devices, they
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise,
and mobile devices also vary in the amount of
interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed
a rating system for wireless mobile devices to
assist hearing device users find mobile
devices that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have
been rated. Mobile devices 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 mobile device
successfully. Trying out the mobile device with
your hearing device is the best way to evaluate
it for your personal needs.
