Reports hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and a mastoid bone tumor after flip-phone use, recounts a surgeon’s attribution to radiation and describes continuing symptoms. Criticizes newer wireless deployment and requests updated phone safety testing.
- Cancer & tumors:
shows the final diagnosis (a Mastoid Bone Tumor) and surgery was required.
- Neurological symptoms & sleep:
I still suffer from the worsening tinnitus as well as even more hearing loss in my right ear.
- Exposure limits & oversight:
The phones should be tested properly since the technology has gone far beyond the last testing for consumer usage.
I am responding as an individual consumer and parent. In December of 2006, I was using a flip phone and always held it to my right ear. I experienced hearing loss in my right ear, along with tinnitus. The attached jpeg, 1.21.2007_Tinnitus-Decreased HearingRightEar.jpg, shows the doctors' and radiologist's report. I also experienced vertigo in February 2007.
The attached jpeg labeled 7.27.2007_Surgeon'sPathologyReport.jpg, shows the final diagnosis (a Mastoid Bone Tumor) and surgery was required. The surgeon said it was from radiation and sent me information about Radiation Induced Hearing Loss. Please see the attached file labeled 7.27.2007_Radiation Induced-Hearing Loss.jpg for that information.
I still suffer from the worsening tinnitus as well as even more hearing loss in my right ear. I have EPPV (a form of vertigo) mostly on my right side. My house has a 'Smart' meter for electricity from ComEd.
In my opinion, enough with the 4, 5, and 6G! It is destroying our health. The phones should be tested properly since the technology has gone far beyond the last testing for consumer usage. I'm so thrilled that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is asking for this information! (My life is NOT better from the radiation exposure I experienced.)
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
