On November 1, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to adopt an updated technical standard for wireless hearing aid compatibility. The new standard will allow hearing aid compatibility requirements to be extended to a range of new technologies and will allow for more accurate measurement of hearing aid interference. Comments will be due 30 days after the NPRM is published in the Federal Register, and replies 15 days later.
