Quote:

"Still unresolved, the scientists say, is how to stop the screeching noise that hearing-aid wearers experience when they try to use a cellphone. Researchers also are trying to understand how a new technology widely used to track inventory in retail stores might cause problems for people with pacemakers.

"Most consumer technologies, like televisions and microwaves, don't appear to interact with medical devices, says Howard Bassen, head of the FDA's electromagnetics and wireless laboratory.

My comment:
(a) The summary is in the graphic.
(b) Cellphones do not interphere with a pacemaker. Each car of subways and trains in Japan prominently displays a poster asking people not to use cellphone near reserved seating for seniors or the handicapped. I have not seen such sign in US. Armed with the FDA findings, I must say the measures in Japan are unnecessary.
