Soon!Hearing Aids Require New Cell Phones
FCC Orders Changes in 3 Years

The Federal Communications Commission yesterday adopted rules requiring
cell-phone makers and service providers to develop digital wireless phones
that are more compatible with hearing aids used by about 6 million
Americans.
More than 85 percent of cell phones now run on digital networks. Most of
the technology used in those devices either emits too much noise to be
used with a hearing aid or shuts off a part of the hearing aid that helps
people hear.
Under the new FCC rules, within three years phone makers will have to
develop at least two phones that do not shut off that part. The FCC also
set a February 2008 deadline requiring at least half of phones to operate
with less noise interference.
"A significant number of deaf people are not able to use a cell phone,"
said Karen Peltz Strauss, a former FCC official and a longtime advocate
for the deaf and hard of hearing in telecommunications matters. Strauss
said the population is aging and more and more people will be using
hearing aids. "I think it's a start in the right direction. I'm really
thrilled that the FCC has taken action," she said.
Under current rules, most conventional land-line telephones are required
to be compatible with hearing aids, but as wireless phones become
increasingly common, the expanded rules were necessary, said Chelsea
Fallon, a spokeswoman for the FCC.
The FCC plans to publish a more complete order outlining more details of
the rules in the Federal Register.
The cell-phone industry reacted to the new rules by saying it will
cooperate with hearing-aid makers to develop more compatible products, but
it voiced its objection to a rule that imposes specific requirements on
wireless carriers.
"Today's FCC mandates will unnecessarily complicate this cooperation and
constrain innovative solutions to meet this challenge," Tom E. Wheeler,
president and chief executive of the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association, said in a statement.
