Hearing Aid Compatible

Samsung has a number of phones that have been designed, tested and certified to potentially improve performance for users with hearing aids.

Technical specification ANSI C63.19 has been developed to provide a way to measure the interference experienced by hearing aid users when using hearing aids with wireless handsets. The interference may be a buzzing, humming, or a whining noise .The amount of interference experienced by hearing aid users may vary based on the level of immunity of their hearing aids.

Wireless handsets are tested to C63.19 and rated M1 to M4 with respect to RF interference between the hearing aid and handset. A wireless handset with a rating of M3 or M4 usually provides reduced RF interference for hearing aids designed for compatibility.

C63.19 also provides a rating to measure a wireless handset's compatibility to telecoil (T-coil) hearing aids. Handsets tested for telecoil compatibility are rated T1 through T4. Handsets that receive T3, T4 usually provide better performance for use with telecoil hearing aids designed for compatibility.

Although a hearing aid compatibility ratings system is not a guarantee, it is a useful tool for consumers to determine the most appropriate wireless handset to match with their hearing aid.

The following statement applies to each of the current Samsung HAC models that are listed in blue in the chart below

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 some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

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 phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
