The standards provide a uniform method for measuring the radio frequency (RF) immunity and telecoil coupling strength of hearing aids, as well as the RF emissions and telecoil coupling strength of wireless devices. The measurements are converted to a microphone (M) rating and a telecoil (T) rating. Customers can use the ratings to predict the compatibility of a particular digital wireless handset and a hearing aid.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><strong>M-Ratings:<\/strong> Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices that utilize a microphone for picking up sounds from the handset&#8217;s speaker. M4 is the higher of the two ratings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><strong>T-Ratings:<\/strong> Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device&#8217;s telecoil than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the higher of the two ratings. The advantage of a telecoil is that it removes extraneous noise that would otherwise be picked up by a microphone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><strong>Hearing Device Immunity<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to interference. Your hearing aid manufacturer or hearing health professional can help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><strong>HAC Compatible Wireless Handsets<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Windy City Cellular carries the hearing aid compatible devices listed below.
