What is hearing aid compatibility?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a
rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more
effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices . The standard
for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63 . 1 9 . There are
two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being the best
rating): an "M" rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear
conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a
"T" rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in
the telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise .

(microphone mode) if it has an "M3" or "M4" rating . A digital wireless phone is

it has a "T3" or "T4" rating .
