For Your Safety
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 communications devices so that no interference occurs when a person uses a
“compatible” device 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 communications devices 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.
