handheld wireless phones and helped
develop a voluntary standard sponsored
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test
methods and performance requirements
for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a
person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a
‘compatible’ hearing aid at the same time.
This standard was approved by the IEEE in
2000. The FDA continues to monitor the use
of wireless phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, the FDA will
conduct testing to assess the interference
and work to resolve the problem.
