Abstract

An electronic device having hearing aid capability is disclosed. The electronic device includes a linear resonance actuator (LRA). The LRA is configured to produce both vibrations and a hearing aid compatible magnetic field. A processor coupled to the LRA is operable to control the LRA to generate a magnetic field for inductively coupling the electronic device to a hearing aid when a hearing aid compatibility (HAC) mode is enabled, wherein the generated magnetic field is encoded with audio information which corresponds to an audio signal.
