Factors such as connection distance, proximity of reflective surfaces, interference from other wireless devices, and energy loss through body absorption must all be factored into the hearing aid design. For example, indoor wireless performance may be very different from wireless performance experienced outdoors, where the only reflective surface may be the ground on which the hearing aid user is standing. Furthermore, individual differences in body geometry increase the variability that wireless engineers must account for when designing a system that provides each user with a consistent and reliable experience.
As awareness of wireless hearing technology grows, hearing healthcare professionals may notice an uptick in long-term safety concerns. Consumers should be confident knowing that wireless Hearing Aids are safe and strictly regulated medical devices that meet governmental wireless communication standards in addition to those set forth for medical devices.
