Safety Guidelines
107
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.
