Effect of Prolonged Use of Mobile Phone on Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials
Gupta N, Goyal D, Sharma R, Arora KS · 2015
View Original AbstractThis study found no auditory brainstem changes after one year of mobile phone use, but longer-term effects remain unclear.
Plain English Summary
Researchers examined whether long-term mobile phone use affects the auditory brainstem - the part of the brain that processes sound signals from your ears. They compared brain wave responses in 67 people who had used GSM mobile phones for over a year against 33 non-users. The study found no significant differences in how sound signals traveled through the auditory nerve to the brainstem between phone users and non-users.
Study Details
The purpose of current study was to evaluate the effects of long term mobile phone usage on auditory brainstem evoked responses (ABR)
A retrospective, cross-sectional, case control study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital. To...
No significant difference (p>0.05) was found in latencies, interpeak latencies and amplitudes of ABR...
Our study shows that long term usage of mobile phones does not affect propagation of electrical stimuli along the auditory nerve to auditory brainstem centres.
