Are there phones I can use with my hearing aid on the telecoil setting?
A. There may be phones on the market that work with telecoils but they are not labeled. The FCC regulations require that manufacturers and service providers make available two cell phones for use with hearing aids on the telecoil setting as of September 2006. Phones that have been tested for telecoil and are HAC-compliant will be labeled on the box with ratings of “T3” or “T4.” There are already phones on the market that work with hearing aids in the telecoil setting but they may not be labeled.
