Safety
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.

Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your
first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone
and its features such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your
instruction manual and learn to
take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer,
including automatic redial and
memory. Also, work to memorize
the phone keypad so you can use
the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free
device. A number of hands-free
wireless phone accessories are
readily available today. Whether
