For Your Safety 152
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods
and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless devices so that no
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.

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.
