Short-term cell phone exposure showed no effect on auditory processing, but this doesn't rule out impacts on other brain functions.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers tested whether cell phone radiation affects how well people can detect the order of sounds they hear. They exposed 168 participants to either real cell phone signals (GSM) or fake signals while performing an auditory task, testing both sides of the head. The study found no significant difference in performance between real and fake exposure, suggesting that short-term cell phone radiation doesn't impair this type of hearing ability.

Study Details

The effect of acute exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) generated by mobile phones on an auditory threshold task was investigated.

168 participants performed the task while exposed to RF EMF in one testing session (either global sy...

No significant effect of exposure to RF EMF was detected, suggesting that acute exposure to RF EMFs ...
