							FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices 
On July 10, 2003,  the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket
01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC
Act) to require digital wireless 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 interference they
generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a
rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users 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 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. Your LX140 has a M4 rating.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are
not labeled. T4 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 is synonymous for T ratings. 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
quality that is 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
measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard.
