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 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.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless devices 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.

Road Safety
If you have downloaded VoIP software to your device in order to
use it as a phone, you should exercise caution in driving while
using that feature.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using
your wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1.
Get to know your wireless device and its features, such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you
to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2.
When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add
an additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless device with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
