  • Abstract
    In late 1995 the FCC called the cellular phone industry and hearing instrument industry together to address the issue of the hearing aid users ability to use cellular phones. At that point it was becoming increasingly apparent that cellular phones using digital transmission formats could interfere with many hearing aids. This paper presents some of the technical challenges and measurement techniques developed to resolve this interference issue
