View Original AbstractTen minutes of mobile phone exposure caused no detectable changes in inner ear function, even with advanced testing methods.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether 10 minutes of mobile phone exposure affects the inner ear's ability to produce tiny sounds called otoacoustic emissions (natural sounds the ear makes to help us hear). They used sophisticated wavelet analysis to detect even subtle changes in 27 healthy young adults in a double-blind study. The results showed no changes in ear function after GSM phone exposure, confirming that short-term mobile phone use doesn't appear to harm the delicate sound-producing cells of the inner ear.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to assess potential subtle changes in cochlear function by measuring the temporal and spectral fine structure of transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) in normal hearing subjects after exposure to EMFs emitted by Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) mobile phones.
TEOAEs were recorded in 27 healthy young adults before and after 10 min of real or sham exposure in ...
The broadband analysis revealed no significant effect on TEOAEs related to exposure, confirming resu...
