engineers, and physicians from  
universities, government health  
agencies, and industry reviewed  
the available body of research  
to develop the ANSI Standard  
(C95.1).

The 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 “compatible”  
hearing aid at the same time.  
This standard was approved by  
the IEEE in 2000.

interact with some electronic  
devices. For this reason, the  
FDA helped develop a detailed  
test method to measure Electro

and defibrillators from wireless  
telephones. This test method is  
now part of a standard
