	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 implants), users may detect a
	buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
	hearing devices are more immune than
	others to this interference noise, and
	phones also vary in the amount of
Safety	interference they generate.
	The wireless telephone industry has
	developed a rating system for wireless
	phones, to assist hearing device users to
	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
88	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.

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.

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 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
