Hearing Aid Compatible Phones




Some people who use hearing aid devices may find it a challenge to use a wireless phone. Advocates in the wireless industry and consumer groups have been working for years to develop standards and solutions to reduce difficulties that the hard-of-hearing can face. In addition, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set requirements for wireless carriers and wireless device manufacturers. There are now a large number of hearing aid compatible (HAC) devices available.

We offer the following HAC phones:

Boost Mobile does not offer any non-hearing aid-compatible models.

There are two different ratings to consider when picking a hearing aid compatible device:

M-Ratings: reduced hearing aid device interference

Some people with a hearing aid device experience a buzzing or whining noise when using a wireless phone.  This noise can be caused when the electronics within the hearing aid device pick up and demodulate radio frequency (RF) and/or electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted by the phone.

Phones with an M-Rating of M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are less likely to generate interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled.  M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

In addition, hearing devices may be measured for immunity to interference caused by RF demodulation or EMI. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional can help you find immunity results for your hearing device.  The more immune your hearing aid is to this type of interference, the less likely you will be to experience interference from mobile phones and other sources of RF/EMI such as computer monitors or fluorescent lighting.

T-Ratings and compatibility with hearing aids with telecoils

A telecoil is a small device built into some hearing aids for use with the telephone as well as assistive listening devices. Not all hearing aids have telecoils. The T-Rating measures the device’s effectiveness with a telecoil.

Phones with a T-Rating of T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are more likely to work well for people who use hearing aids with telecoils.  T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
