FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from 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 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. 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.
