Wireless phones that comply with the FCC’s hearing aid compatibility (HAC) regulations must receive a minimum rating of “M3” for RF emissions under the ANSI C63.19 standard. The “M” rating refers to the phone’s RF emissions level for use with hearing aids operating in the microphone setting.

The higher the phone’s “M” rating, the more likely the phone is compatible with a hearing aid operating in the microphone setting. Hearing aids also have ratings similar to wireless phones. Most newer hearing aid models receive at least an M2 rating.

To determine the level of compatibility between your hearing aid and this Virgin Mobile HAC certified phone, combine the M rating of your hearing aid and the M rating of this phone. For example, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M4 phone, you will achieve a combined rating of 7.

Any combined rating equal to or greater than 6 provides excellent performance.

Any combined rating equal to 5 offers good performance.

Any combined rating equal to 4 offers acceptable performance.

T-Ratings—Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note 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 choose the proper rating for your mobile phone. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.
