View Original AbstractCell phone radiation showed no immediate effects on hearing pathways in this small study, but exposure details were incomplete.
Plain English Summary
Finnish researchers tested whether cell phone radiation affects hearing by measuring brain responses to sounds in 17 healthy adults. They found no changes in how the brain processed auditory signals when exposed to GSM phone emissions at 902.4 MHz. This suggests that short-term cell phone use doesn't interfere with the basic hearing pathways from the inner ear to the brainstem.
Study Details
The present study investigated the possible effects of the electromagnetic field (EMF) emitted by an ordinary GSM mobile phone (902.4 MHz pulsed at 217 Hz) on brainstem auditory processing.
Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were recorded in 17 healthy young adults, without a mobile phone ...
ABR waveforms showed no significant differences due to exposure, suggesting that short‐term exposure...
