- RF interference in hearing aids from cellphones part 1: Near-field cellphone emissions measurements and the effects of hands: part one of a series comparing the ANSI C63.19 metric to simpler metrics, still based on the near-field test procedure of the standard, and to near-field measurements made when cellphones are hand-held.

- RF interference in hearing aids from cellphones part 2: Comparing in-use RF coupling to predictions: part two of theseries examines the relationship between near-field radio frequency (RF) emissions and RF immunity and the resultant in-use coupled RF interference, which may be heard as audio frequency noises by the hearing aid wearer.
