A latest study suggests that regular use of mobile phone can raise the risk of tinnitus that engrosses regular buzzing or ringing. In a study survey researchers from Australia enlisted one hundred people with the condition and one hundred without the condition and compared their mobile phone usage.
People who use mobile phone an average of ten minutes daily have seventy percent more prone to tinnitus. But the British Tinnitus Association denied that connection by saying that extreme noise, several drugs and head trauma could increase the rsik of tinnitus and in many cases causes of it are unknown.
Mobile phones are used worldwide and even a slight increased risk would be of public health importance. Especially given that the condition can in some cases deeply meddle with daily life, said researchers from the Medical University of Vienna. They found that using mobile phone more that one hundred and sixty hours cumulatively was linked to sixty percent increased risk.
There were biological devices through which mobile could cause ear problem, said lead author Dr Hans Peter Hutter. The spiral-shaped organ called cochlea which converts sounds into electrical impulses that the brain and the auditory pathway understands. They are located in an anatomical region where a substantial amount of the power emitted by mobile phones is engrossed.
It is also possible that lengthened and constrained pose using mobile phone while walking and talking could affect blood flow in that side of the head. These grounds are more prone than simply the sound at the other end of the line.
The connection between tinnitus and electromagnetic fields is not a new concept and it is being put forward as a cause and treatment both for tinnitus. Some people have accredited their tinnitus to the sounds produced by electromagnetic fields inside modern electrical wiring or power plants. Electromagnetic therapy has also been used to treat tinnitus, said Veronica Kennedy, a consultant and adviser to the British Tinnitus Association.
