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/T3
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.
