View Original AbstractTen minutes of cell phone exposure showed no immediate hearing damage, but this doesn't address long-term effects from hours of daily use.
Plain English Summary
European researchers tested whether 10 minutes of GSM cell phone exposure affects hearing in healthy young adults. They used comprehensive hearing tests including threshold levels and inner ear function measurements, comparing real phone exposure to fake exposure in a double-blind study. The results showed no detectable changes to any aspect of hearing function from the electromagnetic field exposure.
Study Details
The European multicenter project named GUARD involved nine centers and aimed to assess potential changes in auditory function as a consequence of exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produced by GSM cellular phones.
Participants were healthy young adults without any evidence of hearing or ear disorders. Auditory fu...
Analysis of the data showed there were no effects of exposure to GSM mobile phone signals on the mai...
