FCC Hearing Aid Compatability
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has established
requirements for digital wireless mobile
devices to be compatible with hearing aids
and other assistive hearing devices.
When individuals employing some
assistive hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants) use wireless mobile
devices, they may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to
this interference noise, and mobile devices
also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has
developed a rating system for wireless
mobile devices to assist hearing device
users ind mobile devices that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not
all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile
devices 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 mobile device successfully. Trying
out the mobile device with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for
your personal needs.
