the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:
⬤Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
⬤Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
⬤Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store where purchased for exchange or refund. More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.
