Electromagnetic interference of bone-anchored hearing aids by cellular phones.
Kompis M, Negri S, Hausler R. · 2000
View Original AbstractCell phones caused disruptive interference in 85% of bone-anchored hearing aid users, demonstrating measurable EMF effects on medical devices.
Plain English Summary
Researchers studied electromagnetic interference between bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs) and cell phones in 17 patients. They found that 11 of 13 patients who used digital cell phones experienced annoying buzzing sounds when the devices interfered with their hearing aids, with one patient also reporting dizziness and head pressure. While the interference wasn't considered harmful, it demonstrates how wireless devices can disrupt medical implants.
