FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations
for Wireless Devices
While some wireless 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 a rating
system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users
to find 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 located
on the box.
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.
