CTIA Statement on Achieving 100% Wireless Handset Model Hearing Aid Compatibility

"The wireless industry is committed to promoting accessibility for all consumers, including those with hearing loss. Today's Report and Order is the result of years of strong collaboration, from the Joint Consensus Proposal to the HAC Task Force Report and Recommendations. It importantly sets the path for 100% wireless handset compatibility while retaining the flexibility necessary to reflect marketplace developments and protect world-leading innovation in mobile devices. We look forward to continuing efforts with the FCC, consumer advocates, the accessibility community and industry partners as we get closer to achieving the shared goal of 100% HAC."
