View Original AbstractTen minutes of cell phone radiation at typical usage levels caused no immediate changes in brain hearing pathways.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether 10 minutes of cell phone radiation affects how quickly the brain processes sound by measuring auditory brainstem responses (electrical signals from the hearing pathway to the brain) in 30 healthy young adults. They found no measurable changes in brain response timing after exposure to 900 MHz radiation from a Nokia phone at typical usage levels. This suggests short-term phone calls don't immediately disrupt the brain's basic hearing functions.
Study Details
The aim of the present study was to advance our understanding of potential adverse effects of the GSM mobile phones on the human hearing system.
Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) was recorded with three non-polarizing Ag-AgCl scalp electrodes in...
Paired sample t-test was conducted for statistical analysis. Results revealed no significant differe...
The present results suggest that, in our experimental conditions, a single 10 minute exposure of 900 MHz EMF emitted by a commercial mobile phone does not produce measurable immediate effects in the latency of auditory brainstem waves I, III and V
