phone EMI. 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
