Appendix B: A message from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a
person uses a compatible phone and a accompanied hearing aid at the same time. This
standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
