⬤Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you have a combined rating of six for “best use.” The same applies for T ratings.

Sprint further suggests that 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. If you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your device, promptly return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the device within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, and you will only be responsible for charges based on your actual usage.

⬤Move the phone around to find the point with the least interference.
