Phones and accessories that are Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) will work with hearing aids that support the telephone switch feature. This is commonly known as the "T-switch" or "T-coil" that is built into the hearing aids. HAC products will only work with hearing aids that have a telephone switch.

Hearing Aid Compatible Accessories

Not all the wireless phones are hearing aid compatible by themselves and not all the wireless phones that are hearing aid compatible work well with all hearing aids. The lack of compatibility may be due to the radio signals generated by the phone or by the hearing aid design. HAC phone accessories are available to allow wireless phones to work better with hearing aids. One such device, the ClearSounds Amplified Power Neckloop may be available for free through several state programs. Please read for more details.
