1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)mobile phone and SMART meter 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):years, not certain exact length of time as I avoid using a cell phone 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:my left ear is painful when I try to use my cell phone on that side. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:I know that in 2012 when a SMART electric meter was installed on my prior home, I had sudden-onset tinnitus which never went away. I also experienced abrupt sleep interruption at 1 am, 2 am, 3am most nights. The meter was on the outside of my bedroom wall about 10 feet from my head while in bed. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?No medical help sought. No diagnosis. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?For today I minimize cell phone use and when I do use it hold it on the right side to prevent the discomfort/pain. In 2012 I put aluminum foil on the inside wall of the bedroom on the meter side. Holding the cell phone on the non-affected side is the only way I can use a cell phone for verbal. The aluminum foil on the wall was in place for years, it may have helped. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:Many studies exist but studies warning of harms are not accepted by the decision-makers. Only studies that are favorable to industry seem accepted. But try listening to AM radio nowadays-during the night it is not possible to hear most stations for the multiple interferences of RF waves. Even FM radio transmission is poor, especially during the night hours. And while traveling, you drive into heavy fields of EMF audible on the car radio. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:I believe the many…
