Hearing Aid Compatibility
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.
Device Compatibility Ratings
Each device is tested for hearing aid compatibility under one of two standards: the 2011 ANSI Standard, or the newer 2019 ANSI Standard. Here is how to understand each:
The 2011 ANSI Standard:
Because the 2019 ANSI Standard is so new, most currently available devices were certified under the 2011 ANSI Standard. Under the 2011 ANSI Standard, there are two different ratings to consider when picking a hearing aid compatible device: the M and T ratings.
If a phone has an M-Rating of 3 or 4, and a T-Rating of 3 or 4, then it is hearing aid compatible.
The 2019 ANSI Standard:
If a device is certified as passing under the newer 2019 ANSI Standard, it will be labeled “Hearing Aid Compatible” or “HAC.” The 2019 ANSI Standard also includes volume controls for using the handset with or without a hearing aid.
