View Original AbstractTen minutes of cell phone exposure showed no immediate hearing effects, but longer-term impacts remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
Turkish researchers tested whether 10 minutes of cell phone use affects hearing by measuring sensitive inner ear responses in 30 people with normal hearing. They found no changes in these delicate measurements and no hearing complaints from participants. This was the first study to look specifically at whether mobile phone radiation might damage hearing function.
Study Details
To study the effects of the electromagnetic field of mobile telephones on hearing
Thirty volunteers with normal hearing were exposed to mobile telephone EMFs for 10 min and evoked OA...
No measurable change in evoked OAEs was detected and none of the subjects reported a deterioration i...
It was concluded that a 10-min exposure to the EMF emitted from a mobile telephone had no effect on hearing, at least at outer ear, middle ear and cochlear levels.
