Abstract

Objective: Some studies have claimed that long-term conversation with mobile phones can cause hearing loss. However, it has not been investigated whether exposure to mobile phones during pregnancy affects the hearing of babies in the womb. Therefore, the aim of this human study was to investigate the effects of intrauterine radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure emitted from mobile phones on the hearing of newborns. Methods: The study population comprised 149 newborns. Pregnant women in this study were divided into 4 groups according to RFR exposure duration, such as non-exposure to RFR, exposure to RFR for 2–15 min/day, exposure to RFR for 15–60 min/day, and exposure to RFR for more than 60 min/day. The results of the hearing screening analyses of the newborns, which were performed using transiently evoked otoacoustic emission and auto auditory brainstem response, were investigated retrospectively. Results: The results of this study indicated that 900 and 1800 MHz RFR exposure during pregnancy did not cause hearing loss in newborns. Conclusion: In conclusion, we observed that the hearing sensitivity and peripheral sound perception of newborns were not affected by RFR exposure emitted from mobile phones during the intrauterine period. Further studies should be performed to illuminate the subject

Özet

Amaç Bazı çalışmalarda, cep telefonları ile uzun süreli görüşme yapmanın işitme kaybına neden olabileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Ancak gebelik esnasında cep telefonu kullanımının anne karnındaki bebeklerin işitme yetileri üzerinde etkileri olup olmadığı araştırılmamıştır. Bu nedenle, insan popülasyonu üzerindeki bu çalışmamızdaki amacımız cep telefonlarından yayılan intrauterin radyofrekans radyasyonuna (RFR) maruz kalmanın yenidoğanların işitme yetileri üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktı. Yöntem Çalışma popülasyonu 149 yenidoğandan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmadaki gebeler, RFR maruziyet süresine göre 4 gruba ayrılmış olup bunlar, RFR’ye maruz kalmama, RFR’ye 2–15 dakika/gün maruziyet, RFR’ye 15–60 dakika/gün maruziyet ve RFR’ye 60 dakika/gün’den fazla maruziyet gruplarıdır. Yenidoğanlarda geçici uyarılmış otoakustik emisyon ve oto-işitsel beyin sapı yanıtı şeklinde gerçekleştirilen işitme taraması analizlerinin sonuçları retrospektif olarak araştırılmıştır. Bulgular Bulgular, gebelik esnasında 900 ve 1800 MHz RFR maruziyetinin yenidoğanlarda işitme kaybına yol açmadığını göstermiştir. Sonuç Sonuç olarak, yenidoğanlarda işitme hassasiyetinin ve çevre sesi algısının intrauterin dönemde cep telefonlarının yaydığı RFR maruziyetinden etkilenmediğini gözlemledik. Konuyu açıklığa kavuşturmak için ek çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.
