The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the US communications regulator, has announced new regulations surrounding mobile phones, requiring all large mobile phone companies to provide at least one hearing-aid compatible model within two years.

The FCC also called on the developers of new technologies to consider the needs of people with hearing impairments when designing new products.

Media Access Australia provides a number of user guides about the accessibility of existing mobile devices and smart phones.
