develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the

Radiation Protection

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

(http://www.icnirp.de)

(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and

World Health Organization (WHO) International

performance requirements for hearing aids and

EMF Project

wireless phones so that no interference occurs

(http://www.who.int/emf)

when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a

National Radiological Protection Board (UK)

“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This

(http://www.nrpb.org.uk/)

standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

 

The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless

 

phones 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.
