Hello,
I am wondering if you have heard of any problems with EMF and the use of
telecoils in hearing aids. If you are not familiar with telecoils, they are
a device option in hearing aids that allow users to electromagnetically
couple to telephones and to use assistive listening devices, which include
FM systems, infrared systems, and induction loop systems. Can you give me
any guidelines as to what acceptable limits might be, or where I might find
research on the topic of hearing aid telecoils and emf.

Regards,
Cheryl
