The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access totelecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immunethan others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in theamount of interference they generate.The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system forwireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may becompatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located onthe box.The ratings are not guarantees.
