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

The FDA continues to monitor

medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur,
the FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work
to resolve the problem.
