Safety

The 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 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.
