Do mobile phones interfere with heart pacemakers, hearing aids or other devices?
As documented by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other expert sources, interference with medical devices can result from many everyday sources, including radio signals, power line disturbances, airport metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other medical devices and electrostatic discharges. Assuring that potentially susceptible devices are designed and built to be compatible with radios and other everyday sources of electromagnetic energy best prevents interference.
