Effect of Prolonged Use of Mobile Phone on Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials.

View Original AbstractLong-term mobile phone users showed no detectable changes in auditory brainstem function compared to non-users in this study.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether long-term mobile phone use affects the auditory brainstem (the part of the brain that processes sound signals from the ear). They compared brain wave responses in 67 people who had used GSM phones for over a year with 33 non-users, all aged 18-30. The study found no significant differences in how sound signals traveled through the auditory system 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.
