Using Your Phone With a HearingAid
Device
Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some
wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids
and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the
effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise,
and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate.
126 Section 4A. Important Safety Information
ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of
measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability
rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users
find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones
have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been
rated have a label located on the box. Your KATANA
and T4 ratings.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's
hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing
device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a
higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device.
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 for hearing aid
compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than unrated phones. (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 aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise
from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your
hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating
of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
