T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet 
FCC requirements and are likely to generate less 
interference to hearing devices than mobile 
devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ 
higher of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to 
enabling inductive coupling with hearing aids 
operating in telecoil mode. 
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing 
aid manufacturer or hearing health professional 
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings 
mean that the hearing device is relatively 
immune to interference noise. 
Under the current industry standard, American 
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the 
hearing aid and wireless mobile device rating 
values are added together to indicate how usable 
they are together. For example, if a hearing aid 
meets the M2 level rating and the wireless 
mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the 
sum of the two values equals M5. 
Under the standard, this should provide the 
hearing aid user with normal use while using the 
hearing aid with the particular wireless mobile 
device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate 
excellent performance.  
However, these are not guarantees that all users 
will be satisfied. T ratings work similarly. 
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are 
described in the American National Standards 
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard. 
HAC for Newer Technologies 
This phone has been tested and rated for use 
with hearing aids for some of the wireless 
technologies that it uses. However, there may be 
some newer wireless technologies used in this 
phone that have not been tested yet for use with 
hearing aids. 
It is important to try the different features of this 
phone thoroughly and in different locations, 
using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to 
determine if you hear any interfering noise. 
Consult your service provider or the
