Hearing Aid Compatibility - Panasonic FZ-X1 Operating Instructions Manual

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
mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Mobile devices rated M3 or M4 are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 are likely to be more usable
with a hearing device's telecoil ("T-Coil Switch" or "Telephone Switch")
than unrated mobile devices. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
(Note that the hearing aid telecoil must be activated in order for it to
function, and 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 devices.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
