At the TC SC yesterday the following provision was discussed. Consumers
want to keep the original 508 text at 2.3-B. Alternative language has
been proposed - see below - as some people have expressed concern about
the "lowest possible level" wording. We do not want to weaken the
provision, which we believe the new alternative text does. Please review
the two versions below and give me your feedback ASAP
Thank y ou

1194.23(i) Interference with Hearing Device
This text is unchanged from original 508 text. It is at 2.3-B of the
EWG July 6 Draft.
Interference to hearing technologies (including hearing aids, cochlear
implants, and assistive listening devices) must be reduced to the lowest
possible level that allows a user of hearing technologies to utilize the
telecommunications product.
Note: Text may need to be reviewed again; "lowest possible level" is
problematic. Possible alternative text:
Potential sources of interference to hearing technologies (including
hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive listening devices) must
be reduced as much as possible to provide a more compatible environment
for a user of hearing technologies to utilize the telecommunications
product.
