A growing worldwide problem of cellular phone towers is that microwave radiation emanating from them is causing ringing in the ears of people who live nearby. The Cellular Phone Taskforce is a nonprofit organization set up in 1996 to monitor this phenomenon.
Some people are more sensitive to electromagnetic radiation than others.
B.S. Wilson and W.T. Joines found that this ability occurs within the cochlea, not the outer or middle ear. Frey also found that the vestibular system is also affected. The telecommunications industry is building hundreds of thousands of new broadcast towers. Unfortunately, digital signals are pulsed and are the very kind of signals studied by Frey and others. All radio frequency, microwave, and infrared broadcasts are potential hazards.
