The FCC has mandated that all mobile handsets in the US must be compatible with hearing aids, ensuring Bluetooth connection and improved product labeling.
New volume control benchmarks will be established to help users increase volume without distortion, ensuring clarity for all, not just those with severe hearing loss.
Smartphone manufacturers will have a 24-month transition period to comply with the new rules, promoting better hearing aid accessibility and usability for the public.
This initiative aligns with public health efforts, following the FDA's introduction of OTC hearing aids to provide affordable solutions for mild to moderate hearing loss.
