What Is Hearing Aid Compatibility in Android?
Contents

Hearing aid compatibility (HAC) for cell phones and other wireless devices is defined by two areas of performance. A cell phone that is HAC has a reduced likelihood of causing interference noise in hearing aids. In addition, a cell phone that is HAC may also be capable of working with a hearing aid’s telecoil.

What does hearing aid mode do on Android?

Hearing aids with Bluetooth technology help you stay connected to iOS and Android phones, televisions, tablets and other favorite audio devices. Hearing aids of the past often limited the wearer’s access to many personal audio devices such as mobile phones and music players.

What does it mean when a phone is hearing aid compatible?

A wireless handset is considered hearing aid compatible if it meets a “T3” or “T4” rating for use of the magnetic coil, and an “M3” or “M4” rating for noise reduction. These T and M numbers are determined by technical standards that apply to wireless telephones.
