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 accompanied 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.
