T-Ratings
: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones . (T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings . Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them .)
Note:
New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi . This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing
aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses . However, there may be newer wireless
technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing
aids .
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless
phones and should have ratings similar to phones . Ask your hearing healthcare professional for
the rating of your hearing aid . Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine
probable usability:
ɒ Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use .
ɒ Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use .
ɒ Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable .
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for
“excellent use .” This is synonymous for T ratings .
It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or
M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device . Should you
experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone,
promptly return it to the store . More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at:
