Orbic Q10 User Manual page 80

The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two
types of ratings:
• M-Ratings: Rating for less radio frequency interference to
enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids.
•
T-Ratings: Rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids in
telecoil mode.
Not all phones have been rated. A phone is considered hearing
aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic
coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. These ratings are giv-
en on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible.
