FCC (USA) deliberations on hearing aid compatibility in phones

I’ve barely started browsing this, but there are potentially huge ramifications I think.

“Alternatively, we seek comment on an approach whereby the Commission would broaden the current definition of hearing aid compatibility by explicitly incorporating by reference one or more non-proprietary Bluetooth connectivity standards, such as Bluetooth LE Audio and Bluetooth HAP, into the wireless hearing aid compatibility rules, the use of which would be required on a non-exclusive basis.”
