Safety Guidelines
137
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.
