Abstract

Today this is difficult to think a life without a mobile. Mobile phone use has increased dramatically since its introduction in the early-to-mid 1980’s. In the last 20 years, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions have increased from 12.4 million to over 5.6 billion, involving about 70% of the global population. India holds second position with about 885 million users, that is, 74% of Indian population. Mobile phone emits electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range around 2.5 GHz range and health concerns have been raised. On May 31, 2011 the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) categorized the radiation fields from mobile phones, and from other devices that emit similar non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs), as a Group 2B i.e., a ‘possible’ human carcinogen. When the mobile is in use, all the components of the auditory system including the skin, external and middle ear, the inner ear, cochlear nerve and the temporal lobe surface absorb the radiofrequency energy. The widespread use of mobile phones in recent years has given rise to concerns about the potential influences of its electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human ear. Little attention has been paid to the effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) of mobile phones on hearing.
