The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently issued an enforcement advisory reminding wireless service providers and resellers that they must report on their compliance with the hearing aid compatibility rules by January 15, 2013. Under FCC rules, most wireless service providers must offer consumers a minimum number of hearing-aid compatible phones or other handsets. The purpose of the rules is to ensure the compatibility of wireless services to consumers with hearing loss. In addition to filing status reports with the FCC, wireless carriers also must place information regarding hearing aid compatibility on their websites.
