For Your Safety
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.
