View Original AbstractThis small study found no hearing damage from chronic phone use, but larger studies are needed to confirm safety.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether long-term mobile phone use affects hearing by comparing the phone-using ear to the non-phone-using ear in 40 medical students who had used phones for over 4 years. They found no differences in hearing tests or brain response measurements between the two ears, even among heavy users (more than 60 minutes daily). The study suggests that chronic mobile phone exposure at the ear doesn't impair auditory function.
Study Details
We conducted a study to investigate the effects of long-term (>4 yr) exposure to EMFs emitted by mobile phones on auditory function
Our study population was made up of 40 healthy medical students-31 men and 9 women, aged 20 to 30 ye...
We found no statistically significant differences in high-frequency pure-tone average between the ph...
We conclude that the long-term exposure to EMFs from mobile phones does not affect auditory function.
