Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) devices are one form of assistive technology designed to help the deaf and hard of hearing communicate. A HAC phone allows a compatible hearing aid to connect wirelessly with the phone’s handset, usually via a telecoil — a tiny coil of wire that can act as an electromagnetic receiver across both devices.
HAC technology is available both in private residential phone models and in enterprise-grade phones. The latter combine hearing assistive technology with a typical suite of business phone features, such as voice mail, call forwarding, teleconference speakers, and programmable keys.
Hearing aid compatible technology offers a range of benefits to your workplace.
If your company depends on effective voice communication to conduct its business, then it can benefit from hearing aid compatible technology. HAC technology makes your work environment more accessible, can ensure a consistent quality of voice communications, and will also support your company’s regulatory compliance.
