(The difference, of course, is that there's no Hearing Aid VII, with a
wireless
connection to let you listen to Web pages or something...yet.  The flight
.attendants can't keep up with the tech; and better for them to err on the
side
of caution.  The remaining question, of course, is how come the airplane
manufacturers can't build a plane to resist this interference.  

They can; today's fleet is pretty old.  A lot of the Boeing 737's were put
into service
in the '70's.  The 727's are even older. 

The newer aircraft would not likely have the same problem, however, one size
fits
all when it comes to policy. /m.
