Forty minutes of mobile phone radiation showed no effect on hearing performance in this controlled study of 168 people.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers tested whether 40 minutes of mobile phone radiation affects hearing ability by having 168 people perform an auditory task while exposed to phone signals at two different power levels. The study found no significant changes in hearing performance during radiation exposure compared to sham (fake) exposure. This suggests that short-term mobile phone use doesn't impair basic auditory processing abilities.
