“normal usage” while using their hearing aid with
the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in
this context is defined as a signal quality that’s
acceptable 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

recommended that you turn the BT (Bluetooth)
mode off for HAC.
