Under the current industry standard, American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless mobile device rating values are
added together to indicate how usable they are together. For example, if a
hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the
M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equals M5. Under the standard, this
should provide the hearing aid user with normal use while using the hearing
aid with the particular wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would
indicate excellent performance. However, these are not guarantees that all

The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Mobile Device
Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it because
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the mobile device, or make
calls that increase your mobile device bill.
