A study of the effects of cellular telephone microwave radiation on the auditory system in healthy men

View Original AbstractShort-term cell phone exposure showed no immediate hearing changes, but this doesn't address long-term cumulative effects from regular use.
Plain English Summary
Italian researchers tested whether cell phone radiation affects hearing by exposing 20 healthy men to phone signals (900-1,800 MHz) for 15-30 minutes while measuring their auditory responses. They found no changes in hearing function during or after exposure. This suggests short-term cell phone use doesn't immediately damage the auditory system.
Study Details
We conducted a study of the effects of mobile cellular telephone microwave radiation on the auditory system in 20 healthy men.
After the subjects underwent baseline measurements of transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) ...
Throughout the study, no significant changes in either measurement were noted.
We conclude that the use of cellular phones does not alter the auditory system in the short-term.
