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.  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 generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that 

are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. 

 

Hearing devices may also be rated.  Your hearing device manufacturer or 

hearing health professional may help you find this rating.  Higher ratings 

mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The 

hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A 

sum of 5 is considered accepTaple for normal use.  A sum of 6 is considered 

for best use.  

 

 

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the 

wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal 

M5.  This is synonymous for T ratings. This should provide the hearing aid 

user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular 

wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality 

that is accepTaple for normal operation.  

 

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is 

intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are 

recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions 

(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC 

Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the 

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard. 

 

To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is 

maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN 

components must be disabled during a call. See Page XX for instructions to 

disable these components.
