- The FCC has approved a regulation requiring 100% of all mobile handsets sold in the US to be compatible with hearing aids.
- The rule requires phone makers to abandon proprietary Bluetooth coupling standards and meet new volume control requirements.
- Phone makers are also urged to change their packaging to indicate hearing aid compatibility on their devices.
The FCC has adopted a new regulation that will require all smartphones to be compatible with hearing aid devices. The commission says that with the new mandate, 48 million Americans with hearing loss will be able to choose from the same mobile phone models available to everybody.
