	FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility
	(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
	Devices
	On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications
	Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket
	01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones
	under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC
	Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible
	with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
	ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
	services for persons with hearing disabilities.
	While some wireless phones are used near some
	hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
S	implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
afet	whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
y	immune than others to this interference noise, and
	immune than others to this interference noise, and
	phones also vary in the amount of interference they
	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 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. 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. Your LX140 has a M4 rating.

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 acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.
