Tinnitus and Cell Phones: the Role of EMF
admin 0 Comments Ears Ringing (emf tinnitus)
Introduction
Tinnitus is a multi-factorial condition and its prevalence has increased on the past decades. The worldwide progressive increase of the use of cell phones has exposed the peripheral auditory pathways to a higher dose of electromagnetic radio frequency radiation (EMRFR). Some tinnitus patients report that the abusive use of mobiles, especially when repeated in the same ear, might worsen ipsilateral tinnitus.
The emfTESTS digital HologramChi are frequencies infused Holograms encoded with very specific frequencies to mitigate harmful EMF.
Electromagnetic fields
Many people suffer from nonspecific symptoms, and some attribute their conditions to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed replacing the term ‘electromagnetic hypersensitivity’ with the term ‘idiopathic environmental intolerance with attribution to EMF’ in order to avoid the suggestion of a causal relationship, which has not been generally proven.
In a recent survey in Austria by Schrottner, 3.5% of the population considered themselves to be sensitive to EMF, and 70% believed that electromagnetic pollution could be a risk factor for disease. About 30% expressed some concerns about being near mobile phone base stations or power lines. Media triggered the hypotheses in 24% of the cases.
Huss surveyed general practitioners in Switzerland about their experience with patients complaining of EMF-related symptoms. About 69% of general practitioners reported seeing a patient with EMF complaints. These physicians reported that ‘sleep disorders’ were the most common complaint (43%), followed by headache (39%), difficulty concentrating (21%), and fatigue (14%). Other symptoms included tinnitus, tumors, anxiety, and nervousness. Physicians thought that about 50% of the complaints and attribution to EMF were plausible.
SBS is an affliction in which ‘lethargy’ is a core symptom. However, significant excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or insomnia does not seem to be a part of the syndrome. The degree to which chemical or biologic (mold, endotoxin) factors contribute is unclear.
Results
EMRFR can penetrate exposed tissues and safety exposure levels have been established. These waves provoke proved thermionic effects and potential biological and genotoxic effects. Some individuals are more sensitive to electromagnetic exposure (hypersensitivity), and thus, present earlier symptoms. There may be a common psychophysiology between this hypersensitivity and tinnitus.
Conclusion
There are already reasonable evidences to suggest caution for using mobile phones to prevent auditory damage and the onset or worsening of tinnitus.
