View Original AbstractThirty minutes of mobile phone radiation showed no immediate effects on inner ear hearing or balance function in this controlled study.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether 30-minute mobile phone exposures affect inner ear function in 9 people who reported symptoms from phone use and 21 healthy controls. Using precise hearing and balance tests before and after exposure to 882 MHz radiation at typical phone power levels, they found no measurable changes in either group. This suggests that short-term mobile phone use doesn't immediately impair the ear's delicate hearing or balance mechanisms.
Study Details
This double blind study tested nine case-subjects, who complained of various symptoms after prolonged mobile telephone use and 21 control subjects.
Each subject underwent a series of trials, in which a dummy mobile telephone exposure system was hel...
There were no significant TEOAE changes from baseline to post-exposure recording for any of the expo...
In conclusion, 30 min exposure to mobile phone RF did not show any immediate effects on vestibulocochlear function as measured by TEOAE and the VOR
