CTIA expressed concerns about a proposal by the Hearing Industries Association, which CTIA said would expand the breadth of the hearing-aid compatibility (HAC) rules to “universal regulatory coverage.” CTIA “has significant concerns with any requirement that all handsets offered in the United States meet HAC requirements,” the group told the FCC in an ex parte filing (http://bit.ly/1gWwWkj). “Such a blanket approach faces significant legal challenges, as it appears to be inconsistent with Section 102 of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010."
