Today, December 13 2023, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rule Making that all wireless handset models offered for sale or imported into the united States be Hearing Aird Compatible (HAC). This NPRM includes a proposition that all wireless handsets must have two forms of coupling - an acoustic coupling method will need to be mandated in addition to existing inductive (NFC) or bluetooth coupling. The notice also proposes transition periods ranging from 24 months for handset manufacturers and up to 42 months for regional cell-service providers.
The Lagwaves team will be accessing any impact to Electromagnetic compatibility performance and certifications and is available to support impacted product teams in the transition period as needed.
