Electromagnetic interference in both directions. I'm deaf in my left ear,
and wear (well, it's in the shop) a pair of hearing aid lookalikes.
Actually, the left aid is a microphone and RF transmitter, that sends to a
receiver in the right ear where the left-side sounds are mixed with the
right.
I can't wear them in many circumstances because I have "special hearing"
that gets overwhelmed. Get me within 5 feet of a Wyse terminal and I hear
nothing but squeals. Going into an equipment room, and I might as well turn
the aid off. Wonder if any other medical equipment is likely to be
affected in a colo?
My main regret is I haven't had an opportunity to visit NSA since I got the
hearing aids. I want to see how they will cope with a visitor with an
unauthorized transmitter in his head.
