Hearing Aid Compatibility
with Mobile Phones
Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the

Hearing Aids

box for your particular model has "Rated for Hearing Aids" printed on it, the
following explanation applies.
When some mobile 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 ratings for some of their mobile
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 on the box. To maintain the published
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating for this mobile phone, use only the original
equipment battery model.
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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled.
M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones 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 phones. T4 is the better/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 mobile phones.
Information from the World
Health Organization
Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
WHO Information
precautions for the use of mobile phones. If you are concerned, you may want to
limit your own or your children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls or by
using handsfree devices to keep mobile phones away from your head and body.
