Do Wireless Hearing Aids Present a Health Risk?

The integration of wireless technology and hearing aids has fundamentally reshaped the direction of the hearing industry. Today, wireless Hearing Aid users benefit from smartphone connectivity, while future changes to the Bluetooth® standard will permit nearly universal hearing aid interconnectivity. These future hearing aids will do more than adapt to the user`s environment; rather, they will become part of a mesh of wireless devices that interact with any number of other wireless devices in a given space or across a wireless network.

While many patients and hearing care professionals have welcomed advancing interconnectivity, there may be public concerns as the technology becomes more popular. Health concerns regarding radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation remains a concern among consumers, even in spite of 95% of the US population reporting cell phone ownership
