View Original AbstractThis Japanese study found no link between mobile phone use and acoustic neuromas, but limited sample size and older technology may not reflect current risks.
Plain English Summary
Japanese researchers studied 101 people with acoustic neuromas (benign tumors on the nerve connecting the ear to the brain) and compared their mobile phone use to 339 healthy controls. They found no increased risk of developing these tumors among mobile phone users, even those who used phones for over 8 years or accumulated more than 900 hours of call time. The study suggests mobile phone use does not significantly increase acoustic neuroma risk in Japan.
Study Details
To examine the relation between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma, a case‐control study was initiated
The study followed the common, core protocol of the international collaborative study, INTERPHONE. A...
Fifty one cases (52.6%) and 192 controls (58.2%) were regular mobile phone users on the reference da...
These results suggest that there is no significant increase in the risk of acoustic neuroma in association with mobile phone use in Japan.
